'September 5' Covers Its Streaming Date

Posted by on
  Have a few Munich knacks. Paramount announced on Monday morning that Best Original Screenplay Oscar and Critics Choice nominee September 5 is headed to Paramount+ tomorrow, Tuesday February 25 in the United States and Canada. International rollout will, as usual, be revealed at a later date, but it never quite gets the coverage the domestic arrival to the platform does. The film was first given a limited release on December 13, and considering Sony Pictures ’s Saturday Night ’s limited release on September 27 was what brought it to Sony’s typical 120-day window for its films when it landed on Netflix on January 25 despite a wide release on October 11, it’s clearly the best way to gauge speed. And for Paramount’s 2024 slate, it’s actually a pretty slow 74 days, as even Sonic the Hedgehog 3 demonstrated a week ago that everyone else tends to be around 60 days, with a few films going 53. Sonic 3  opened a week later on December 20 and arrived on February 18. September 5 ...

Showtime Will Be Fully Integrated Into Paramount+ On June 27

Posted by on

The march toward ending Showtime as a standalone brand in Paramount's portfolio continues.

As first revealed last week in an email sent to Showtime subscribers who subscribe through Apple, the merged Paramount+ with Showtime service will launch on June 27. establishing it as the company’s top-tier streaming product without commercials. Paramount+ with Showtime will cost $11.99 a month, while Paramount+ without Showtime will cost $5.99. The latter is a price increase of $2 for the existing Paramount+ premium plan from $9.99, and a $1 price increase for the “Essential” plan without Showtime.

The move was announced in January and still has more steps to accomplish, The Showtime app will wind down service, shutting down as the linear premium pay-TV channel will be rebranded to Paramount+ with Showtime, both by the end of the year. It is said to “deliver a distinguished premium service with hit originals across linear and streaming – the first to truly integrate streaming and linear content this way.” 

Tom Ryan, President & CEO of Paramount Streaming declared “This summer, Paramount+ will officially become the streaming home for Showtime, further advancing our lead in being the total household service. By integrating the Showtime premium and critically acclaimed portfolio with the service’s already broad and popular slate, all at a competitive price, we will solidify Paramount+ as a cornerstone in streaming.” 

The news comes on the day HBO Max is rebranded to Max by Warner Bros Discovery, fully embracing the incorporation of Discovery programming into the service, and earlier this month Disney announced an integrated experience app for Disney+ and Hulu programming for domestic customers, as will be the rollout of Paramount+ with Showtime as it starts out. Paramount+ subscribers have become very familiar with Showtime programming during the bundle era that ends with this move. As the two brands have grown more and more intertwined, the more the linear channel's future in its new programming strategy has been covered, because it's what will be on Paramount+...with Showtime.
