Until 2019, no video game film - live-action or animated - had received a Rotten Tomatoes "fresh" rating, with a score over 60%. Three films since, "Detective Pikachu", "The Angry Birds Movie 2", and "Sonic the Hedgehog" have been able to break into the "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Both "Detective Pikachu" and "Sonic the Hedgehog" have posted better-than-expected domestic takes, with "Sonic", as of May 2020 holding the highest domestic opening box-office for a video game film. Its success led to a planned sequel announced in May 2020.
