Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will be available to stream exclusively on Paramount+ instead of the widely anticipated platforms like Netflix or Disney+. Fans of the blue blur will be able to enjoy the high-speed action and adventures directly from their Paramount+ subscriptions, as per a report. While an exact release date for «Sonic the Hedgehog 3» has not yet been confirmed, we can make an educated guess based on the release patterns of previous Paramount films. «Sonic the Hedgehog 2» was in theaters for just over six weeks before moving to streaming, and similarly, films like «Smile 2» and «A Quiet Place: Day One» followed a comparable timeline. Given this trend, it’s reasonable to expect that «Sonic the Hedgehog 3» will likely arrive on Paramount+ by mid-February 2025, following a similar theatrical-to-streaming window, IGN reported. Paramount's new action comedy «Sonic the Hedgehog 3» sped to the top of the North American box office this weekend, outdoing predictions with an estimated take of $62 million, one of the best December openings in years, industry watchers said Sunday, as per AFP report.

Justin Baldoni has been dropped by his agency, WME, following sexual harassment accusations from Blake Lively, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Lively, who co-stars with Baldoni in the upcoming film "It Ends With Us," filed a complaint on Friday detailing the alleged harassment. Both Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, are also represented by WME. The complaint accuses Baldoni and his company, Wayfarer Studios, not only of harassment but also of attempting to damage Lively's reputation. Lively claims the situation escalated to a meeting involving Sony Pictures, producers, publicists, and others to address the alleged «inappropriate conduct.» She presented a list of 30 demands to resume production after the actors' strike, including stipulations about discussions of pornography and genitalia, displaying explicit videos, and improvising kissing scenes. The complaint also alleges that Baldoni deviated from the agreed-upon marketing plan, which emphasized the character's strength and resilience rather than focusing on domestic violence. Lively contends Baldoni used «survivor content» to protect his image after cast and crew members unfollowed him on social media. The complaint states, “What the public also did not know was that this was the beginning of a multi-tiered plan that Mr. Baldoni and his team described as ‘social manipulation’ designed to ‘destroy’ Ms. Lively’s reputation. That plan was backed by virtually unlimited resources.”

Qatar will stop shipping gas to the EU if member states strictly enforce a new law cracking down on forced labour and environmental damage, Energy Minister Saad al-Kaabi told the Financial Times in an interview published on Sunday.

Penalties include fines of up to 5% of global turnover. «If the case is that I lose 5% of my generated revenue by going to Europe, I will not go to Europe. I'm not bluffing, Kaabi told the newspaper, adding that „5% of generated revenue of QatarEnergy means 5% of generated revenue of the Qatar state. This is the people's money,  so I cannot lose that kind of money — and nobody would accept losing that kind of money.“
