At Paramount Pictures, we are committed to making movies for the big screen, and for diverse audiences. We are thrilled to return to Vegas for CinemaCon this year and showcase what we have in store for theatres this summer and throughout the year.
With your partnership, we are bringing moviegoers more films than ever before, spanning every genre, with something for everyone. We can’t wait to share our exciting slate with you.
Hitting theatres May 8th is the concert film Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard and Soft: (Live In 3D), directed by famed filmmaker James Cameron and Billie Eilish. It brings the electricity and generational talent that epitomizes Eilish’s live performances to the big screen for the first time through the masterful lens of James Cameron in an immersive 3D format that must be seen to be believed.
And four decades on, we’re still feeling the need…the need for speed. Flying into theatres on May 13th is the Top Gun 40TH ANNIVERSARY re-release starring Tom Cruise, taking fans back to where it all began in premium formats including IMAX and Dolby Cinema.
On May 22nd comes the horror film Passenger starring Jacob Scipio, Lou Llobell and Melissa Leo, directed by André Øvredal and written by Zachary Donohue & T.W. Burgess. After a young couple witness a gruesome highway accident, they soon realize they did not leave the crash scene alone, as a demonic presence called the Passenger, that won't stop until it claims them both, turns their van life adventure into a nightmare.
And continuing the summer fun is the long-awaited latest installment of the iconic Scary Movie franchise from Paramount Pictures in partnership with Miramax. Twenty-six years after outrunning a suspiciously familiar masked killer (“Ghostface”), the Core Four are back in the killer’s crosshairs and no horror movie IP is safe. Marlon Wayans (“Shorty”), Shawn Wayans (“Ray”), Anna Faris (“Cindy”), and Regina Hall (“Brenda”) reunite in Scary Movie alongside returning favorites and fresh faces to slash through reboots, remakes, requels, prequels, sequels, spin-offs, elevated horror, origin stories, anything with the word legacy in it, and every “final chapter” that absolutely isn’t final. Nothing is sacred. No trope survives. Every line gets crossed. The Wayans are back to cancel the Cancel Culture. Debuting in theatres June 5, 2026, the film also stars Damon Wayans Jr., Gregg Wayans, Kim Wayans, Benny Zielke, Cameron Scott Roberts, Cheri Oteri, Chris Elliott, Dave Sheridan, Heidi Gardner, Lochlyn Munro, Olivia Rose Keegan, Ruby Snowber, Savannah Lee Nassif, Sydney Park. On June 26th, get ready to continue rolling in the aisles as Johnny Knoxville and his gang are back with wilder antics than ever before in Untitled Jackass Event Film.
Closing out the summer, in partnership with Spin Master Entertainment, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie roars into theatres on August 14th, with a star-studded cast that includes Carter Young, Mckenna Grace, Terry Crews, Meredith MacNeill, Ron Pardo, Jennifer Hudson, Fortune Feimster, Jameela Jamil, Bill Nye, Paris Hilton and Snoop Dogg. After their ship gets caught in a mysterious storm, the PAW Patrol pups crash land on an uncharted tropical island filled with dinosaurs. They meet Rex, a pup who has been stranded on the island for years and has become an expert in all things dino-related. When the PAW Patrol's archrival, Mayor Humdinger, begins recklessly mining in hopes of exploiting the island for its natural resources, he inadvertently causes a huge, dormant volcano to erupt. The PAW Patrol pups are thrown into a series of high-stakes, dino-sized rescues bigger than anything they've done before, as they must stop Humdinger before everything on the island goes extinct.
This fall, we’re teaming up with Legendary Pictures to bring audiences a feature film adaptation of the beloved video game Street FIghter, starring Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, wrestlers Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoai and Cody Rhodes, with Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson and Jason Momoa. The film is directed by Kitao Sakurai, with a story by Dalan Musson and Gary Dauberman and screenplay by TJ Fixman and Kitao Sakurai. Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy that forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER! Street Fighter opens in theatres October 16th including IMAX, Dolby Cinema, 3D, and other premium formats.
Bringing the spirit of the holiday season on November 13th is Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol, a ghost story set in Dickens’ London that follows one man’s supernatural journey to face his past, present and future and fight for a second chance.

Christmas Day brings Untitled John Tuggle Filmstarring David Corenswet, Isabel May and Michael Shannon. The movie will tell the inspiring, heart-felt, and true story of John Tuggle, the “Mr. Irrelevant” of the 1983 draft, the last player chosen in the last round, by the New York Giants, and his enduring impact on his team and teammates.
And bringing us into 2027 is the highly anticipated Children of Blood and Bone, based on the bestselling YA series, directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood with a screenplay by Gina Prince-Bythewood and Tomi Adeyemi. The film stars Thuso Mbedu, Damson Idris, Amandla Stenberg and Tosin Cole, with an ensemble cast including Cynthia Erivo, Lashana Lynch, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Regina King, Idris Elba, Viola Davis and more.
