‘Sonic the Hedgehog’ Joins Top
‘Good Times’ Star Ja’net DuBois Dies
Videogame Movies; 'The Photograph'
Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog” led the pack this weekend with $68M, and Valentine’s Day bolstered “The Photograph” (Universal) scores well making $13M, while 'Birds Of The Prey comes in second at $17M. However, the Will Packer- produced romance fared far better than the Julia Louis- Dreyfuss and Will Farrell’s English-language remake of “Force Majeure.”
Post-Oscars, both “1917” (Universal) and Best Picture winner “Parasite” (Neon) also had an impact. “Bad Boys” also continue to do well with $11M totaling $182M- U.S./ foreign-$187M.

As confirmed by her family and those close to the two- time Emmy winner, the seem- ingly healthy DuBois died early Tuesday in her sleep at her home in Glendale, CA.
She was known for making some of the greatest entrances in sitcom history week after week as neighbor Willona Woods on Good Times, the groundbreaking 1970s sitcom starring Esther Rolle, John Amos, Jimmie Walker and Janet Jackson. Back in December of last year, DuBois joined Walker and co-star Bern Nadette Stanis for an appearance on the latest live retelling of one of Nor- man Lear’s classic TV shows – and she stole the star-stud- ded show with pure pizzazz.
Good Times wasn’t DuBois’ only connection to Learland. She also co-wrote
