When Is Sonic 3 Releasing on Digital & Leaving Theaters?

Fans can’t wait to learn when they can digitally watch the highly anticipated third installment of Sonic the Hedgehog, titled Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which has achieved great success. Directed by Jeff Fowler, this movie brings back Sonic as he prepares to battle Shadow, a powerful antagonist. The impressive cast includes Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, and others.

Here’s the latest information about when Sonic 3 could leave theaters and become available for digital viewing.

When is Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s digital release date?

The digital release date of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is reportedly January 21, 2025.

It’s been reported that Paramount Plus hasn’t made an official statement about it, but according to current news, the movie might become available for streaming on video-on-demand and digital platforms in approximately a week.

When is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 leaving theaters?

Judging by past trends, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 could leave theaters in February 2025.

The film will first be shown in cinemas starting from December 20, 2024, and is anticipated to remain there for at least two months. Typically, movies produced by Paramount in 2024 have a gap of around 55 days between their initial theater release and their appearance on digital platforms. For example, A Quiet Place: Day One premiered in theaters on June 28, 2024, and was pulled from cinemas approximately 55 days later on August 22. Interestingly, it became available on digital platforms a month earlier, on July 30.

Similarly to Smile 2, it appears that Sonic the Hedgehog 3 might have a similar theater run duration of approximately 55-56 days, from October 18 to December 12, 2024. Consequently, we can anticipate that it may exit theaters on Thursday, February 13, 2025. Given its high production budget and potential success at the box office, however, there’s a possibility it could extend its stay in theaters for an extra week or two.

It’s worth mentioning that the number of cinemas showing the aforementioned films decreased substantially after the fifth or sixth weekend. This pattern might repeat with Sonic 3 as well. Consequently, if Sonic 3 follows this trend, January could be its last month playing in most North American theaters. Therefore, fans should seize this chance to watch the movie on the big screen before it starts disappearing from theaters by January.
