Overview
- Paramount and Activision announced during Thursday's CinemaCon presentation that Call of Duty will open in theaters on June 30, 2028.
- Peter (Pete) Berg will direct and co-write the film with Taylor Sheridan, with Activision’s Rob Kostich citing a focus on human-level authenticity and a partnership with Paramount chief David Ellison.
- The project is still early, as plot and cast remain under wraps and the sizzle reel shown at CinemaCon drew mainly on game footage rather than film scenes.
- Paramount will distribute the movie, and reporting around the deal notes potential to build out the Call of Duty universe across film and TV after a theatrical-first release and later Paramount+ window.
- The date aligns with the franchise’s 25th anniversary, and coverage highlights Call of Duty’s long-running sales dominance in the U.S. as studios chase recent wins for game adaptations.
