The fourth film in the Paramount Pictures franchise has grossed a series-best $422 million in theaters and generated more than $180 million in home entertainment rentals and purchases.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about Sonic the Hedgehog 3 since I saw it in the cinema last month. The first two movies were good, sure, but the third movie's treasure trove of Sonic Adventure 2 references—and the introduction of Keanu Reeves as Shadow, my favourite character—has cemented it as my favourite of the trilogy.

While studios have dated a ton of weekends with untitled releases, Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is among a few hard titles scheduled so far. In 2027, there’s also Avengers: Secret Wars (May 7), the animated Warner Bros movies Bad Fairies (July 23) and Margie Claus (Nov. 5) and Frozen 3 on Nov. 24.
