"Sonic the Hedgehog": Early Digital Release on March 31st, Home Media Release on May 19th

There haven't been a lot of success stories in terms of the box office this year. The first few months of the year don't usually yield very good results in terms of numbers and now the spring and possibly summer seasons have been canceled due to coronavirus related delays. One of the success stories was Sonic the Hedgehog which came out last month and brought in over $300 million at the worldwide box office. Paramount is joining other studios like Warner Bros. and Universal by announcing that the digital release of Sonic the Hedgehog has been moved up to March 31st while the home media release of the 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, DVD and for rental on demand or disc will be on May 19th.
