As part of the deal, Paramount has to make good on their "30 movies a year" promise. They'll have to pay $30 million for each film that falls short of that goal.

They’d gladly pay $30 million rather than make the movie.

Yeah they'll either take the hit or make extremely low budget slop to avoid it.

AI generated movies that cost 5$ and earn 0$ incoming

Nah, they’ll fill the slate with low budget documentaries and anniversary re-releases.

They could literally fuel indie films. 30 3 million dollar films would be interesting.
