What makes this entire decision even more interesting is when you consider how freely Paramount has been selling some of its other films recently. Which is certainly a good indication of the film’s overall quality as a cinematic spectacle. While the exact details surrounding the offer(s) have not been publicly disclosed – although we’d imagine it’d be somewhere in the airspace of US$600 million a la MGM’s asking price for No Time To Die – Paramount chose to decline without a second thought, citing “the strength of the film’s perceived box office prospects” as the main reason. Paramount, on the other hand, not only believe Top Gun: Maverick is a homerun – but are completely confident its conventional release will go ahead with reports the studio have turned away both Netflix and Apple.Īccording to The Wall Street Journal, the streaming platforms “inquired if Paramount Pictures would be willing to sell” the long-awaited sequel starring Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, and Val Kilmer. No Time To Die is on its fifth revised date, The King’s Man has been pushed back more times than anyone can remember at this point, and we don’t even want to think about how all this impacts Dune. To say everyone’s feeling a little weary from hearing about delayed movie releases would be an understatement.
