Overview
- Paramount formally told investors it will release at least 15 films annually starting in 2026 after acknowledging most 2025 titles are on track to miss lifetime profit targets.
- The plan accelerates a goal previously outlined by Co-Chair Josh Greenstein, who has discussed eventually scaling to 20 films per year.
- Comscore currently lists nine dated 2026 titles, including Primate, Scream 7, The Last Airbender: Legend of Aang, Scary Movie, and Street Fighter.
- Under the new leadership team’s first 100 days, the studio secured deals with creators such as the Duffer Brothers and James Mangold and set a Call of Duty feature with Peter Berg directing and Taylor Sheridan writing.
- Recent box-office results highlight profit pressures, with Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning reported as not recouping in its first cycle and other titles like the Naked Gun remake and Smurfs underperforming relative to costs.
