In a recent development, David Ellison's Skydance has successfully acquired Paramount Global, gaining access to the company's vast intellectual property. This move comes after a lengthy federal approval process that faced some backlash.

As the new Skydance-Paramount team prepares to take the reins, changes are afoot in the leadership. Paramount Global co-CEO Chris McCarthy is already out, and Paramount Pictures CEO Brian Robbins is expected to depart imminently. However, CBS honcho George Cheeks is the only leader set to remain with the new team.

Robbins, who became Paramount Pictures' president and CEO in 2021, has helped boost the studio's original film production and acquisitions. The fruits of his efforts will continue to manifest in a busy Q4 this year. Upcoming releases include the "Naked Gun" reboot starring Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson, the crime dramedy "Roofman" directed by Derek Cianfrance, and the franchise hopeful "The Running Man" starring Glen Powell.

Looking ahead, Paramount's 2023 and 2024 slates are equally promising. The studio has a lineup of sequels, reboots, and original content, including "Scream 7," an untitled feature from Trey Parker, Matt Stone, Kendrick Lamar, and Dave Free, a revival of the "Scary Movie" series, and a new "Paw Patrol" film. Additionally, the studio is developing new installments in the Transformers and Star Trek franchises.
