I opted not to bet with the whole Pikachu vs Sonic thing. I'm not good at gambling and it shows. I would have voted team Pikachu.

Sega cinematic universe up to a good start, what does Scorsese think?

I will say this, my 3 y/o already knows Sonic and his iconic theme song from genesis.

He doesn't have a clue who Pikachu is. The Sonic brand is strong.

I really wonder if the release date helped out Sonic a ton and hindered Pikachu.

It absolutely helped Sonic. There's no competition for a few more weeks, and there hasn't been a kids film since Christmas. Families were looking for anything to see, and it helps that Sonic has been getting decent reviews and good word of mouth. If it had kept it's original release date in November it would have had no chance.

Detective Pikachu is more debatable, but probable that it's release date hurt it a bit.

I believe the Sonic dreams collection is was brought Sonic back into the spot light and deserves all the credit

What's odd is I have not seen any new Sonic merch to go along with this. Where is the new Sonic movie plush?
