Paramount Pictures chief Brian Robbins wants to boost the studio’s annual theatrical output to 12 to 15 releases, up from its current Covid-affected level of eight this year and 10 to 12 in 2023.“Theatrical is here to stay,” Robbins said in an appearance at the Bank of America Media, Communications & Entertainment Conference. “I’m not going to say it’s going to be a growth business.
I think franchises matter. I think quality matters.” Still, he continued, “I think that you will see more films” compared with the currently “weird” comeback phase after the shutdowns of Covid and the Omicron variant.
