Abstract

The article focuses on Paramount Skydance Corp.'s plan to release all its films exclusively in theaters for at least 45 days before making them available on streaming platforms like Paramount+, a policy announced by CEO David Ellison amid the company's pending $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Ellison emphasized the importance of the theatrical experience for building long-term franchises and outlined an increase in film production, with a combined output of at least 30 films annually after the merger. The acquisition has faced criticism from Hollywood professionals concerned about potential job losses and reduced viewer options, while AMC Entertainment's CEO expressed support for Paramount's approach. The company also highlighted upcoming projects, including a Call of Duty film and a third Top Gun movie starring Tom Cruise. [Extracted from the article]
