Flying high with the success of Top Gun: Maverick , and before surprising CineEurope attendees with Tom Cruise himself , Paramount showed off its upcoming slate for exhibition Wednesday in Barcelona. While Maverick and next year’s Cruise tentpole Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning – Part One were a key part of the show, upcoming titles highlighted also included Damien Chazelle’s Babylon , game adaptation Dungeons & Dragons : Honor Among Thieves , Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . Paramount President of International Distribution Mark Viane kicked things off today asserting that “premium formats have never been more important” and encouraged exhibitors that “now, more than ever” investment is key.

Distribution sources are saying there’s a chance that Paramount/Skydance’s Top Gun: Maverick could top the box office this weekend in its fifth session with $32 million, a 28% decline week over week. This will easily send the Tom Cruise movie past the half-billion point at the domestic box office; the pic already is the actor’s highest grossing of all time with $900 million-plus worldwide . Top Gun 2 continued to lead advance ticket sales today in the U.S., I hear. Should Top Gun 2 fly in with $30M+, it will soar above Warner Bros’ $85M Baz Luhrmann-directed Elvis , which is eyeing $20M-plus , and Universal/Blumhouse’s Scott Derrickson-directed R-rated $16M horror film The Black Phone , which is spotting $15M – $20M . Mixed in we’ve got the third weekend of Jurassic World Dominion , which is looking at around $29M , off 51%, and the second weekend of Disney/Pixar’s Lightyear , which is also expected to be down 51% at $25M . … [Read more...] about ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Could Upset ‘Elvis’ At Weekend Box Office As Tom Cruise Pic Flies To $500M Stateside

Asked to direct Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation —following his work on two prior installments of the franchise—the biggest obstacle Genndy Tartakovsky faced was that he didn’t want to make the film in the first place. Seeing installments one and two snowball to major commercial success, the director was nonetheless loathe to repeat himself, continuing the story of Dracula—played by Adam Sandler—and the castle to which he is bound.

When he was approached by Sony Pictures Animation to make his feature debut with the original Hotel Transylvania , Tartakovsky couldn’t have anticipated the internal conflict that would result. Seeing major results at the helm of studio … [Read more...] about ‘Hotel Transylvania 3’ Helmer Genndy Tartakovsky Confronts Studio Notes, Striving To Break Out With Original Works
