Tom Cruise Throws His Support Behind Paramount’s Ambitious 30-Movie Theater Goal After Warner Bros. Merger
Cruise said Hollywood needs more opportunities as he backed Paramount’s plan to make 30 films a year if its Warner Bros. Discovery deal closes.
- On Tuesday, Tom Cruise told The Pat McAfee Show he is confident Paramount CEO David Ellison will deliver on his promise of 30 films annually, arguing that Hollywood requires an "abundance" of opportunity.
- While a coalition of state attorneys general challenges the $1.88 billion bond in the antitrust suit against the Paramount and Warner Bros Discovery merger, Cruise remains a vocal supporter of the deal.
- Emphasizing "community," Cruise declared that if Ellison and others wanted to revive Hollywood, "we have to create an abundance" and everyone must support the studio's production efforts.
- Cruise also promoted his upcoming Days of Thunder sequel, which will star Anne Hathaway and release in summer 2028, highlighting his long-standing partnership with the studio that produced his Mission: Impossible franchise.
- A federal judge has set a March 2 date for the antitrust trial regarding the merger, amid reports that Paramount might leave Los Angeles if a settlement is not reached by October 1.
