Long before Amazon released its Skydance acquisition The Tomorrow’s war July 2 – same day as the latter’s co-funded Paramount event photo Top Gun: Maverick the theaters would plan – in the distribution and exhibition circles there was buzz that the sequel to Tom Cruise would probably leave on the weekend of Independence Day.
Top Gun: Maverick earn a billion-dollar movie and Paramount is not going to let any money slip away from it. Exhibition is still closing in Europe (with the UK reopening on May 17) and in Brazil as they are still struggling with Covid, and it will take time before the markets are back in shape.

Also since Disney plowed Marvel’s Black widow on July 9, a domestic logjam was created with Top Gun: Maverick open to the Universal’s F9 (June 25) and on the way to Black widowopening weekend, although the movie goes day-and-date on Disney + at the extra cost of $ 30. F9, that movie is not going to leave the release date. The studio will take full advantage of the US and Asian markets that are then open and will roll out in foreign territories accordingly when it reopens.
The Morning WarThe plan to stream on July 2 is not one of the reasons Top Gun: Maverick moved, although Paramount has an interest in the previous photo. While Skydance has a majority stake in Tomorrow’s war, Paramount has the majority interest and owns the IP on Top Gun 2. Both titles were never seen on July 2 as a possible cannibalization of the other, as they have different means of distribution and the fact that they do not compete for dollars.
Our sources remain stunned by Disney’s decision to take it Black widow theater and on Disney + premier, not to mention the new release date. What did Disney think when they decided to move the Scarlet Johansson feature to July 9? We hear it will post Black widow in a bad position regarding appointments in China: due to the darkening period for movies, Black widow can only open in the VRC in early August, and a Disney + drop guarantees the piracy of the title in advance, giving the loss a cash loss of $ 50 million for the Marvel title in the country. Also discuss PLF screens for Black widow will be a challenge for Disney as it is a theatrical PVOD day-and-date title. But it’s clear that Disney buyers are not thinking of consumers or exhibitors, but rather the studio’s investors. More emphasis is being placed on Disney to take advantage of rising stock prices versus any gains at the global box office.
Distribution bosses noted that there needs to be a bunch of movies to make a healthy domestic market bounce back at the BO. But if we come back slowly, it is important that these features of the opportunities are spread out. Notice how Warner Bros. moved its own Mortal Kombat a week later until April 23 to give Legendaries Godzilla teen Kong a runway of three weeks.
