Paramount Targets 15 Movies Annually by 2026 After 2025 Slate Underperforms

As of 2025-11-10T22:14:47+00:00, Paramount Pictures has announced plans to significantly increase its theatrical release slate over the next few years. The studio currently has 9 movies dated for release in 2026, but they are now aiming to expand that to at least 15 titles annually starting in 2026.

This strategic shift comes after Paramount's 2025 film slate underperformed, with most titles expected to miss their lifetime profit targets. The studio sees this as an opportunity to recalibrate and make the necessary improvements to their future slate. Paramount's new leadership, including Co-Chair Josh Greenstein and Boss David Ellison, have emphasized the goal of reaching 15 theatrical releases per year promptly, with a long-term aim of 20 movies annually.
