AceShowbiz – The hedgehog narrowly beat the wild dog to claim the top spot at the North American box office over the weekend (February 21-23).
“Sonic the Hedgehog” edged out Harrison Ford‘s “The Call of the Wild” to score a second week at number one – but only by a whisker.

But “Sonic” won the weekend with a $26.3 million haul, passing the $100 million mark in North America and $200 million mark worldwide in 10 days.
“Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn” landed in third place in the U.S., notching up a three-week tally of $72 million, while “Brahms: The Boy II” and “Bad Boys for Life” complete the new top five.
