Hamilton is the one who says, “I’ll be back.” The Colosseum crowd went wild when a ripped Hamilton hit the screen, guns blazing Mackenzie Davis makes an imposingly athletic creature who falls out of a glowing orb stark naked and ready for action. ‘Fast X’ Opening Meets Box-Office Expectations, but at What Cost? Goyer, David Ellison’s Skydance, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and ex-wife Linda Hamilton, returning to the role of Sarah Conner after 30 years. While working on the “Avatar” sequels, which he began when Gianopulos was still running Fox, Cameron came up with the concept and story for “Terminator: Dark Fate” (November) and put together a project at Paramount with writers Billy Ray and David S. In the plus column, the choice of “Deadpool” director Tim Miller to pick up where James Cameron left off on “Terminator 2” seems inspired. The fruits of his step-by-step strategy include family movies from Nickelodeon (Latin-focused “Dora and the Lost City of Gold,” August 2), animated fare (“Monster on the Hill,” 2020) and a live-action Sega family movie (“Sonic the Hedgehog,” November 8) starring Jim Carrey as literally mustache-twirling villain Dr. And as he replenishes the studio’s bare larder, he presented a conservative slate with two outstanding potential breakouts.

On the last day of CinemaCon, Paramount Pictures’ Jim Gianopulos touted his inherited franchise hits “Bumblebee” ($462 million worldwide) and “Mission: Impossible - Fallout” ($800 million worldwide) as well as “A Quiet Place” ($340 million worldwide).
