Anything from the Antoine Fuqua/Mark Wahlberg sci-fi action film Infinite to the Chris Pratt sci-fi war flick The Tomorrow War could find their fortunes shifted to the streaming/PVOD model in hopes of keeping the Paramount brand hot and fresh while waiting for the right time to bring movies back to theaters.
In the most extreme case, there’s a potential that even the still-on-track 2020 release of John Krasinski’s horror sequel A Quiet Place Part II might find its way to the world through this very same sort of push, as that would be the studio’s best chance at landing a must-see title on the streaming wars battlefield.
