What This Means For Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Sonic The Hedgehog 3’s Runtime Could Be Good News
Coming in 13 minutes shorter thanSonic the Hedgehog 2could be a concern for the threequel. The second film ramped up the runtime significantly from the first installment, packing in more content and characters. Scaling the run time back down to be closer to the 2020 entry than its sequelcould indicate thatthe third film has less content to work with than the second.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 brings Shadow the Hedgehog into the franchise properly, adapting his video game origin, powers, and more in the process.
However,Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s truncated lengthcould point towards thelatest film being a succinct, tight version of its story. While blockbuster films are trending to be long these days, family movies have traditionally been close to 90 minutes.Sonic the Hedgehog 3is still closer to 120 minutes than 90, but being under two hours could indicate a film that is not too brief, but still concise. The earlySonic the Hedgehog 3trailers and images show an action-packed story, so the shorter runtime could contribute to this crispness.
Our Take On The Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Runtime
Sonic The HedgehogHas A Good Release Date Going For It
While going shorter than the second film could be risky, I think that viewers will still feel like they’re getting their money’s worth with this runtime.Sonic the Hedgehog 3is the first film in the franchise to be released in December, which puts it in a good position as a family film. Though there is also more competition during this time of year, hopefully,Sonic the Hedgehog 3’s release date will help it enough to achieve box office success, without its shorter runtime bringing some potential.
