SP Media Group, led by veteran producer Steven Paul, announced that its recent release, Man with No Past, has become the #1 movie on Paramount+ in 18 countries worldwide, surpassing major studio blockbusters including Top Gun: Maverick and Gladiator II.
Directed by James Bamford and starring Adam Woodward and Academy Award-winner Jon Voight, the film follows a man who awakens with no memory of his identity and is pulled into an action-packed story that has gripped global audiences and driven a surge in international viewership. The film’s success marks another milestone in SP Media Group’s prolific run of independent action-thrillers, with seventeen films released since 2023, each delivering on the SP Media Group’s commitment to high-impact, commercially viable storytelling.
“It’s incredibly rewarding to see Man with No Past resonate so powerfully with audiences worldwide,” Steven Paul, Chairman and CEO of SP Media Group commented “Its exploration of reincarnation and destiny speaks to something universal, and has connected with so many.”
“This is exactly why independent production matters,” Scott Karol, President of SP Media Group/Atlas Comics commented “There will always be a place for tentpole blockbusters, but today’s market also demands more high-concept films made with highly efficient production models and lean budgets, projects that can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the largest studio releases.”
“Man with No Past was a great project to be a part of,” Jon Voight commented “Steven Paul has a talent for creating movies that thrill audiences with interesting subject matters and always a twist and turn, and I can’t wait for what’s next.” SP Media Group’s forthcoming releases include The Internship starring Megan Boone and Sullivan Stapleton, The Lost Ones, starring Henry Golding and Alex Pettyfer, and The Highest Stakes, starring Seth Green, Dylan Walsh, Charlie Weber, Kevin Dillon, and Dan Bucatinsky. SP Media Group is also producing the upcoming superhero feature Devilina, based on the revived Atlas Comics library.
