Paramount Pictures has recently unveiled its upcoming movie release schedule, including the highly anticipated sequel to “Mean Girls” and the next installment of the successful film “Smile.” Additionally, the studio has announced a change in the release date for the Bob Marley biopic. These updates showcase Paramount’s commitment to delivering a diverse range of films to audiences.
“Mean Girls,” the beloved 2004 teen comedy, is set to receive a highly anticipated sequel. Paramount has confirmed that the new “Mean Girls” movie will hit theaters on October 18, 2024. Fans of the original film can look forward to reuniting with their favorite characters and experiencing another hilarious and relatable story.
On the other hand, the sequel to the surprise hit “Smile” is also in the works. “Smile” originally premiered on Paramount+ but made its transition to the big screen due to its immense popularity. The film grossed over $105 million domestically and surpassed $217 million worldwide. As a result of its success, Paramount is eager to capitalize on the momentum by releasing “Smile 2” on an undisclosed date, with Parker Finn returning as the director. The production is currently facing casting difficulties due to ongoing strikes, but the studio remains optimistic about the film’s future.
In a move that highlights Paramount’s adaptability and commitment to its streaming service, the studio has decided to shift the release strategy for “The Tiger’s Apprentice.” Previously scheduled for a theatrical release on January 19, 2024, the animated film will now debut exclusively on Paramount+. The decision was made in recognition of the platform’s success in showcasing kids and family content, appealing to a wide range of viewers.
Furthermore, Paramount has adjusted the release date for the much-anticipated Bob Marley biopic. Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and starring Kingsley Ben-Adir as the legendary reggae musician, the film was initially slated for release on January 12, 2023. However, it will now hit theaters on February 14, 2023, giving audiences more time to anticipate the immersive journey into Bob Marley’s life and music.
Paramount Pictures’ CEO, Brian Robbins, expressed his excitement for the upcoming releases, stating, “We are thrilled to bring these diverse and compelling stories to audiences worldwide. Our commitment to providing quality entertainment remains unwavering, and we look forward to captivating viewers with these incredible movies.”
With this lineup of releases, Paramount Pictures continues to demonstrate its dedication to delivering a range of films that appeal to different audiences. Whether it’s a beloved sequel, an animated adventure, or a biographical drama, the studio’s upcoming releases promise an exciting and entertaining cinematic experience for viewers.
