Call of Duty Movie Gets a 2028 Release Date

Call of Duty

The Call of Duty movie produced by Paramount in partnership with Activision finally has a release date. The upcoming film was teased during the annual Cinemacon industry trade show in Las Vegas yesterday (via Deadline), and it will come to the big screen on June 30, 2028.

The movie was officially announced in September ahead of the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 two months later. At the time, David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount, said that the company was “approaching this film with the same disciplined, uncompromising commitment to excellence that guided our work on Top Gun: Maverick, ensuring it meets the exceptionally high standards this franchise and its fans deserve.”

The Call of Duty movie is directed by American director Peter Berg, known for The Kingdom, Hancock, Lone Survivor, and Deepwater Horizon. At CinemaCon yesterday, Berg said that he’s “deeply connected to the special operations community,” adding that he wants to bring “authenticity” and a “really big scope” to this Call of Duty movie.

As you probably know, there are different sub-series within the Call of Duty franchise, and Activision said in December that it will no longer do back-to-back releases of Modern Warfare or Black Ops games to “provide an absolutely unique experience each and every year.” Call of Duty fatigue is real, and with its giant boss battles and zombies, the Black Ops 7 campaign received a polarized reception from fans. The game actually sold fewer copies than EA’s Battlefield 6, which was the best-selling game of 2025.

While we don’t know the plot for the Call of Duty movie yet, Paramount will certainly have a lot of pressure to deliver a blockbuster hit that can rival the success of A Minecraft Movie and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The latter, which was released on April 1 in the US, is already 2026’s biggest box office hit with over $629 million in ticket sales worldwide.
