Sonic would have been axed by Sega if it wasn't for the movie
Sega was reportedly planning to cancel the Sonic The Hedgehog franchise before the success of the live-action movies, according to Sonic Team boss Takashi Iizuka. The first film's box office performance is credited with saving the series, which had faced internal struggles. While the movies have revitalized the brand, recent game releases like Sonic Superstars have underperformed, though Sonic Frontiers has been a commercial success.
