Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is taking the world by storm and charting new box office records every week. According to a recent report from Variety, Sonic 3 has earned over $200 million and crossed this box office milestone in its second weekend. Considering its current run rate, the movie will likely pass the box office of the previous Sonic chapters of this franchise, which include the 2020 movie and the 2022 sequel.

Directed by Jeff Fowler, Sonic 3 stars Ben Schwartz, Keanu Reeves, Idris Elba, and Colleen O'Shaughnessey as the voice cast, besides Jim Carrey in his iconic dual role. It marks a major critical success for this franchise with widely positive reviews. The critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes currently sits at 88%, and the audience rating (Popcornmeter) is a whopping 96%.

While the movie is doing great in theaters, Sonic fans might be wondering - when it will become available online. By now, no specific details about Sonic 3's streaming release have been revealed. However, there is a pattern in recent streaming releases. Let's find out when we can expect it to be available on a streaming service.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 streaming date: What to expect?

By now, there hasn't been any official announcement on Sonic 3's streaming release. However, considering its production by Paramount Pictures, it will most likely be available to stream on Paramount+.

In the recent past, Paramount Pictures have released their films roughly one-and-a-half or two months after their initial theatrical release. Naomi Scott's Smile 2 and Lupita Nyong'o's A Quiet Place: Day One followed a similar pattern. So, fans might have to wait roughly for that long to find Sonic 3 on streaming.

However, Sonic 3 is having a strong run at the box office. The last time it happened was with Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick, which took longer to be available on streaming. So, fans may have to wait longer to stream Sonic 3 online.

Sonic 3 will likely follow the pattern of VOD (Video on Demand) releases of previous Paramount Pictures releases, which became available roughly 30 days after its theatrical release date.
