Sonic the Hedgehog 3

Gatekeeper Strong in semis, fades in finals
2024 · Action, Science Fiction, Comedy, Family · Jeff Fowler

At 36%, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is below average — but the pattern matters. It has strong rounds and weak rounds, and the weak ones tend to be the finals. A family franchise entry navigating brackets that typically favor adult-skewing competition. The built-in audience is enthusiastic but faces a ceiling when matched against films with more emotional range. At 1.0s average, voters don't deliberate — this is an instant reaction, not a considered choice.

Synopsis

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.

The ceiling

Everything before the final looks solid — 34% opening, 57% semis. Then 8%. The drop from semis to finals is one of the steepest on the platform.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 owns Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone at 77% but Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban flips the script entirely: just 0%.

In Family Fun Showdown, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 loses to The Super Mario Bros. Movie (25%) in round one.
