Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a success, with first weekend box office forecast to reach $60 million

The game-adapted movie "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" released by Paramount Pictures was released in the United States on December 20. As the third film in the series, Keanu Reeves was invited to voice the villain Shadow in the film.

With the official release of "Sonic the Hedgehog 3", it has currently received an 86% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which is much higher than its previous two films (the freshness ratings of the first two films were 64% and 69% respectively).

In addition to many positive reviews from the audience, according to foreign media "Variety", "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" will be released in 3,800 theaters in North America, and its box office revenue for the first weekend is expected to be between 55 million and 60 million US dollars.

Disney's "The Lion King: The Legend of Mufasa" followed closely behind, earning $50 million in more than 4,000 theaters. However, since "Sonic the Hedgehog 3" will not be released worldwide until Christmas, "The Lion King: The Legend of Mufasa" will currently dominate the global box office charts, and is expected to earn another $130 million in box office overseas, with a global debut box office of $180 million.
