About the film
As the name indicates, it is the third film in the Sonic film series, which is based on the video game series. The game series was created by the Japanese developers Yuji Naka, Naoto Ohishima and Hirokazu Yasuhara for Sega. John Wick star Keanu Reeves joined the franchise as an antagonist, Shadow the Hedgehog, with the old cast reprising their roles from the past film. It includes Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Colleen O’Shaughnessey, James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, and Idris Elba.
The movie by Jeff Fowler received excellent ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. The critics gave Sonic the Hedgehog 3 88% and stated, “With a double helping of Jim Carrey’s antics and a quicksilver pace befitting its hero, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is the best entry in this amiable series yet.” The audience, too, gave it a spectacular 95%, and it beat Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King on its opening weekend.
In Sonic 3, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails reunite against a powerful new adversary, Shadow, a mysterious villain with powers unlike anything they have faced before. With their abilities outmatched in every way, Team Sonic must seek out an unlikely alliance in hopes of stopping Shadow and protecting the planet.

Sonic 3 and Mufasa were released in the US on the same day, but the former surpassed the opening weekend of the Disney feature. It opened to $60.1 million on its opening weekend, and so far, the film has collected $218.89 million at the US box office.
