Paramount+ Plans to Debut One Original Movie a Week Beginning in 2022
Before that, Antoine Fuqua's sci-fi pic 'Infinite' — starring Mark Wahlberg and Chiwetel Ejiofor — will forgo a theatrical release and go straight to the streamer this June.

ViacomCBS has big movie plans for its streaming service Paramount+.
Infinite, a sci-fi thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and Chiwetel Ejiofor and directed by Antoine Fuqua for the conglomerate’s Paramount Pictures, will bypass a theatrical release and debut directly on the streamer in the U.S. in late June, CEO Bob Bakish announced on Thursday’s ViacomCBS first-quarter earnings conference call.
ViacomCBS is following the suit of other major studios that are trying to promote their streaming services by sending new movies straight to streaming, although the company has previously stressed that it continues to support a robust theatrical release for many of its biggest titles, at least for six weeks. Infinite, like many other films, was initially supposed to open on the big screen in 2020 but was waylaid by the pandemic. Bakish said Infinite would “create a lot of noise — I have seen the film, it’s a fun film. People love Mark Wahlberg.”
The company did not immediately detail the international distribution plan for Infinite.
Bakish also touted a planned expansion of Paramount+’s film catalog this summer, along with a planned “Mountain of Movies” advertising campaign.
“Turning to movies where we are poised to dramatically enhance the scale of our offering,” Bakish said. “In fact, we will shortly kick off a ‘Mountain of Movies’ marketing campaign, where we will highlight the thousands of new movies we are adding to Paramount+, including blockbuster hits and exclusive originals.”
The CEO said 1,000 additional movies will go live on the streamer in early June, “with additional titles following through July, bringing the total to over 2,500.” He added: “Hits like The Avengers and Skyfall will be available on the service soon, as well as a bunch of great Paramount films like Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, Rocketman, Sonic the Hedgehog and more.” Paramount in February unveiled a new deal with Epix that also gives the studio more flexibility in its post-theatrical windowing strategy, allowing for new and library titles to become available on Paramount+.
Bakish reaffirmed John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II will be available on the streamer 45 days after it opens in theaters over Memorial Day. “And we will follow that with the Paw Patrol movie — a treat for families eagerly awaiting a feature-length version of the most popular preschool characters in the world. In addition, new original movies like Paranormal Activity and The In Between will premiere on Paramount+ by the end of ’21.”

I'm surprised they haven't rolled Showtime into the service. Can't remember the last time a show on there really broke out, maybe Billions.

May 26 (UPI) -- Paramount+ announced Wednesday that the film Infinite will premiere on the streaming service June 10. Mark Wahlberg stars in the film directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Wahlberg plays Evan McCauley, a man who learns his unexplained skills come from a past life. Wahlberg stepped in when Chris Evans had scheduling conflicts. In May, the studio announced the film would premiere on the Paramount+ streaming service instead of theaters.
The sci-fi action film is based on D. Eric Maikranz's book The Reincarnationist Papers. Todd Stein adapted the book.
Evan meets a group of Infinites who help him uncover memories from his past lives. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sophie Cookson, Jason Mantzoukas, Rupert Friend, Liz Carr, Toby Jones and Dylan O'Brien also star.
Infinite is the third streaming premiere for Wahlberg. He made Spenser Confidential for Netflix, and was a voice in Scoob! which Warner Bros. premiered on video-on-demand during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fuqua also directed Wahlberg in the 2007 film Shooter. Fuqua recently pulled production of his next film, the Will Smith historical drama Emancipation, out of Georgia over the state's new voting laws.
Shooter was also a Paramount film. Wahlberg also worked with the studio on many films including two Transformers movies, Instant Family, Daddy's Home and its sequel, and The Fighter.

Looks like it might be something cool to check out on a Friday/Saturday night at home. Seeing Chiwetel Ejiofor in this reminded me of The Old Guard which also deals with people living throughout history.
