2015 Paramount Pictures Preview!

Paramount had a pretty good year for 2014, most notably because of some rampaging Transformers, a squad of mutated Turtles, and a Christopher Nolan space epic, taking 6th place with 10.2 percent of the Market Share and a box office total of just over $1 billion. This year sees a scaled-back roster with a few sequels, a few reboots, and some original entries to fill everything out. The most notable entries include a CGI Spongebob flick that’s sure to bring in the kids crowd, a HOT TUB TIME MACHINE sequel that’s sure to appeal to the R-rated comedy crowd, another PARANORMAL ACTIVITY sequel and a FRIDAY THE 13th reboot for the horror camp, a rebootequel to THE TERMINATOR franchise, and finally, the big show, a fifth sequel to the ever-popular MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise. While the roster is small, there’s certainly the chance that Paramount can make a killing with a few of these flicks, but it will be tough to top the moneymaker that was 2014 for the studio.

Take a look at the full line-up and let us know which ones you’re looking forward to!
