December 2024 will officially mark the battle of the blues, as “Sonic 3” and “Avatar 3” will square off at the box office.
Both sequels will hit US theaters on December 20, 2024, and it’ll be up to fans to decide which theater to pick up first.
Naturally, Twitter users were forced to choose sides, with many comments in favor of the family adventure comedy:
I came here a while ago and just learned that Sonic 3 will be released on the same date as Avatar 3. For me, any other can be released on the same date, but we already know who will reach 1 billion, and I’m not talking about Sonic rs pic.twitter.com/wjjs15Nsi8

I think it’s very risky to release this movie with one of the best cinematic works ever made…Avatar 3 will be TOTALLY overshadowed by Sonic 3 https://t.co/CqJL49ak4E

Have fun watching:
I hope you all know it’s fair to watch Sonic 3 and not Avatar 3 when they come out on the same day

But as soon as they leave, Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) returns, this time with a new partner: Knuckles. The duo search for an emerald that has the power to build and destroy civilizations. Sonic teams up with his own mate, Tails, and together they embark on a journey to find the Emerald before it falls into the wrong hands.
First released in 1991, the “Sonic” game has sold over 360 million copies across various formats.
