Overview
- Paramount locked the theatrical date at CinemaCon on Thursday, confirming the franchise’s first feature will open June 30, 2028.
- Peter Berg will direct and co-write with Taylor Sheridan, as Activision’s Rob Kostich praised partner David Ellison and emphasized a “human-level” authenticity and large-scale action.
- The first look was a sizzle reel built mostly from game footage, and the studio has not announced the story or any casting.
- The timing aligns with Call of Duty’s 25th anniversary, positioning the movie as a summer tentpole in Paramount’s franchise strategy.
- Reporting indicates the deal focuses on one film with options to expand across film and TV under the Paramount–Activision partnership, with Activision now part of Microsoft.
