The release date shuffle continues with Deadline revealing that Paramount is opting to move both A QUIET PLACE 2 and TOP GUN: MAVERICK off their schedule for the year and into 2021. As of now, A QUIET PLACE 2 is set to bow April 23rd, 2021, while TOP GUN: MAVERICK has been pushed to next summer, with the highly anticipated sequel now slated for July 2nd, 2021.
While there's something sweet about a Tom Cruise TOP GUN movie coming out on the fourth of July holiday weekend, this is still a pretty harsh pill for fans to swallow as the film had originally been pushed from summer of 2019 to the summer of 2020, then to Christmas of 2020, and now finally to the summer of 2021. Still, it's understandable considering what a flux the movie business is in right now.
Earlier this evening, it was also announced that their highly anticipated Tom Clancy adaptation, WITHOUT REMORSE, starring Michael B. Jordan was likely going to find a new home on Amazon Prime. Given how popular the first A QUIET PLACE was, and the fact that TOP GUN: MAVERICK was shot with 5K IMAX cameras, streaming dates for these two tentpoles seemed unlikely. Suffice to say, with movie release dates very uncertain for the rest of the year, they had to stake their claim early. Too bad.
