Sonic the Hedgehog earned over $300 million at the global box office, making a sequel inevitable. Two credits stingers set the stage, but an official announcement has not been made by Paramount Pictures. The studio may be waiting to see how Digital and home video sales do before making a decision (the film goes on sale on DVD and Blu-ray a few weeks from now). 

However, respected box office analyst Jeff Bock tells USA Today that a sequel announcement is likely on the way any day now. "A sequel is imminent for Paramount Studios, who desperately needs new franchises...I’d expect an announcement as soon as the world starts spinning in a direction we all recognize again," he says. 

"Video game adaptations are definitely hot properties again in Hollywood thanks to Sonic and his box office antics." The site also shared comments from director Jeff Fowler, who referenced Tails's cameo and noted there are, "so many more great characters to bring in and just more stories to tell."

Fittingly, Tails was introduced in 1992's Sonic the Hedgehog 2 computer game on SEGA consoles. Since then, he's become a staple of Sonic's adventures, and there are a lot of places a movie can take the character. Something tells us he'll be battling Robotnik alongside Sonic, however!

@dracula - I'm hoping the second one focusing on Tails and them becoming close friends and an adventure just them two and humans. Saving knuckles for the third one will sure to make that a hit and we will care more about tails by then. And then then Shadow! If they do it little by little instead of an overload then I feel like each one will be really satisfiying and everyone will care for the characters.

@MutantEquality - well if they do more than a trilogy, then yeah they can just do one character at a time. If shadow shows up, guessing he will be simplified to a clone of sonic created by eggman.

@dracula - since it’s was clearly echidnas chasing him at the start of the film. I’m imagining tails will be coming to warn sonic that they’ve found him Knuckles is coming for him. Enemies turn friends the fight the true evil at the end

I still haven't seen the movie and not for a lack of trying. I went to the theater and unfortunately the screen had problems, so I got my money back, plus a free movie ticket, but the next day all theaters were closed.

This movie was the last one I ever went to see with my Dad, who passed away end of March. I already liked the movie but now its gonna have some sentimental value.

Reading quotes from box office analysts just feels too statistical. It doesn't come across that they have any enjoyment in the movies they watch.

It was MUCH better than I expected it to be .. but my 4 year-old son LOVES this movie. We saw it twice in theaters and I pre-ordered it on Amazon. He keeps asking about it. He absolutely loved the movie. We also play Sonic all the time.

I am really happy as I am a Sonic fan, but also for Paramount as well. Just don't Transformers it and have too many stupid jokes. The amount of jokes in the film was perfect and reminded me of a 90's family film.
All I ask is a little more action, a great chemistry with Tails and possibly have Knuckles show up.
For those asking about Shadow, I'd say leave him till at least a 4th.
Let's hope people will keep going back to watch them so they get a chance to make more films.
