Detective Pikachu, despite its positive reception and box office success, has yet to receive a sequel, while Sonic the Hedgehog is already planning its fourth installment. This article explores the reasons behind this disparity, highlighting the different financial strategies and priorities of the Pokemon and Sonic franchises.
Sonic the Hedgehog has proven itself to be one of the most loved video game adaptation franchises in cinema, but one of its biggest contenders is in no rush to make even their first sequel. Sonic the Hedgehog released it's first live action feature film in 2020, and the movie played an instrumental part in changing the attitude towards video game adaptations in cinema.
Detective Pikachu Never Got A Sequel Sonic's Movie Adventures Have Been Thriving Close Detective Pikachu featured some incredible star talent, with Ryan Reynolds and Justice Smith tackling central roles, and the story and live-action CGI appeared to generally be received quite well. And shortly after the film's release, it was confirmed that a sequel would be released in that same series of stories.
Posts Detective Pikachu 2 has been a hotly anticipated sequel since the original film's release, but the fact remains that Sonic's film franchise has exploded in that same time period, while The Pokémon Company has put its focus elsewhere. And taking a look behind the curtain of both franchises, it makes a lot of sense why Pokémon is in no rush to create another movie, despite their first film earning significantly over $100 million more than Sonic's first entry in 2020.
