The third installment in the Sonic the Hedgehog film franchise is hitting theaters this year, and fans everywhere are clearly getting excited for the new movie. Not only as the spinoff series, Knuckles, been a hit for Paramount+, but folks on Netflix are also starting their catch-up journey as the third film approaches. The first Sonic the Hedgehog was just added to Netflix's streaming lineup at the start of September, and it only took a day for it to become one of the top titles on the entire service.

Monday's Netflix Top 10 Movies list shows Sonic the Hedgehog as the third-biggest movie on the service in North America. Within a day of Sonic arriving on Netflix, subscribers were already finding it and sitting down to check it out.
