This leaves a spot open for a male-skewing film.

They also set a release date for the Dave Franco and McKenna Grace movie Regretting You for Oct. 24, 2025. What’s the big deal here? It’s a Colleen Hoover feature adaptation, people.

In addition, Paramount has a hold on Jan. 15, 2027 for an untitled tentpole in Imax.

The studio is also pulling Vicious off the calendar, its previous date being Feb. 28, 2025. That’s the Bryan Bertino directed and written horror film starring Dakota Fanning. The studio is looking to find a better date for the film.

This weekend, Paramount has another No. 1 opening title in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 which is looking at a franchise best domestic start of $72M+. That makes it five No. 1 openings for Paramount this year.

'Oh My God': Grandkids Surprise Grandparents With Holiday Sleepover
An extended family of adult children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren surprised an older couple in Chesaning, Michigan, with a holiday sleepover as part of a viral TikTok trend.The trend typically sees adult children arrive at their grandparents’ house with pyjamas, snacks, and sleeping bags, for an unannounced sleepover.Alexa Tithof captured footage of her extended family surprising her grandparents at their home. Video shows Tithof’s family members sneak up to their grandparent’s house as part of the surprise, much to the delight and bewilderment of their grandmother.Speaking to Storyful, Tithof said her sister Alli began to plan the surprise over a month ago, with family members travelling from Texas, California, Florida, Ohio, and other parts of Michigan.Tithof said the family wanted to make Christmas extra special for her grandparents after her great aunt and her great aunt’s husband, with whom her grandparents had been close, both passed away earlier this year.“It consisted of their five kids, 10 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren,” Tithof said. “We showed up with lots of food and air mattresses as they still live in the same house my dad grew up in, with only three bedrooms and one bathroom. We definitely had to squeeze.”“They were in complete shock and extremely happy (my poppy even crying, which rarely happens). It was so great to see the surprise play out, and how happy they both were,” she added. Credit: Alexa Tithof via Storyful
