"Sonic the Hedgehog 2" was sent packing to second-place over the box-office weekend by "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" besting it by $13 million.

A new film sits atop the box-office weekend, as "Sonic the Hedgehog 2" displaced "Morbius" from the number one spot by a margin of $60.8 million.

"Sonic the Hedgehog 2" is a sequel that continues to escape the video game curse mainly because of its brisk pacing and manic performance from Jim Carrey.
