The catalog of content available will increase greatly with the addition of 1,000 new titles available in June, and more than 2,500 added by July.<\/p>\n<p>In the short term, Paramount+ will serve as the launching pad for <em>Infinite<\/em>, the delayed sci-fi thriller from director Antoine Fuqua and starring Mark Wahlberg. Originally scheduled to debut in theaters last August, the film had been slated for a September 24<sup>th<\/sup>, 2021 theatrical release, and will now bow exclusively on the streaming service in June. The film is based on D. Eric Maikranz\u2019s novel <em>The Reincarnationist Papers <\/em>and follows a man (Wahlberg) with memories of past lives brought in by a group called the Infinites to combat an enemy (Chiwetel Ejiofor) bent on the destruction of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>This release model follows what happened with <em>The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run<\/em>, which ended up launching with Paramount+ on March 4<sup>th<\/sup>. A number of Paramount films were sold to different streaming services in 2020 as a result of the pandemic, with properties like <em>The Trial of the Chicago 7<\/em>, <em>The United States vs. Billie Holiday<\/em>, and <em>Coming 2 America<\/em> going to Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>While this news takes one major movie off the theatrical calendar, there are many that still remain. Among the highest-profile is the long-awaited <em>A Quiet Place: Part II<\/em>, which was supposed to be released way back in March 2020 and will now finally arrive on May 28<sup>th<\/sup> of this year before premiering on Paramount+ forty-five days later (watch the <a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/trailers\/a-quiet-place-part-ii-the-wait-is-over-watch-the-final-trailer-and-new-featurette\/\">final trailer<\/a>). Coming up after that in theaters for 2021 are <em>Snake Eyes<\/em> (July 23<sup>rd<\/sup>), <em>Paw Patrol<\/em> (August 20<sup>th<\/sup>), <em>Jackass<\/em> (October 22<sup>nd<\/sup>), <em>Clifford the Big Red Dog<\/em> (November 5<sup>th<\/sup>) and <em>Top Gun: Maverick <\/em>(November 19<sup>th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n<p>New original movies, including remake <em>Paranormal Activity<\/em> and <em>The In Between<\/em>, will make their debuts on Paramount+ sometime this year.
