2026 CinemaCon - Paramount Pictures Presentation

Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison has promised to release 30 movies a year between Paramount and Warner Bros. He announced this commitment at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, emphasizing a 45-day exclusive theatrical window. The announcement comes amid Paramount's pending $111 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The studio also revealed a third “Top Gun” movie is in development as part of its starry presentation to exhibitors. The merger has sparked debate, with some filmmakers opposing it due to concerns about its impact on the exhibition business. The deal still awaits regulatory approval and a shareholder vote.
