CinemaScore is a firm which polls audiences upon their first viewing of a movie during its opening night in theatres. Based on their reaction and ballot answers, CinemaScore figures out a grade for the movie based on its appeal (via
Gamefragger).
Now that the video game movie has finally arrived in theatres,
Sonic the Hedgehog has been provided an official CinemaScore grade. The grade can be as low as an F or as high as an A+ (similar to grading that you'd see in a school). The new, live-action Sonic the Hedgehog movie has earned an impressive
"A" grade from the firm.
Opening night audiences must really have enjoyed their time watching the movie. Ben Schwartz, the actor who serves as the voice of
Sonic the Hedgehog in the movie of the same name, recently took to social media to celebrate the CinemaScore grade — and Rotten Tomatoes audience score. You can check out
his tweet below:
Sonic the Hedgehog is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega that centers on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog is in theatres now!
