Production company research-Paramount



how its different this year
We are looking to emulate a production company such as paramount as its success is not just purely based on a specific genre rather it doesn't have one focus and therefore can help make any sort of film. Lat year our production company was Tryptic films with the candle logo which lit up, this year however we may look to recreate the logo in a fashion which is more relevant to the genre we want (action/thriller), this is different to our production last year as that was a horror film and so pictures relevant to last year won't be necessary for this year.

Paramount Pictures Corporation (commonly known as Paramount Pictures or simply Paramount, and formerly known as Famous Players-Lasky Corporation) is a film studio, television production company and motion picture distributor, consistently ranked as one of the "Big Six" film studios of Hollywood. It is a subsidiary of US media conglomerate Viacom. Paramount is a member of the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). It has distributed several successful film series, such as Transformers, Mission: Impossible and the Universe series.

  Paramount is the fifth oldest surviving film studio in the world after Gaumont Film Company (1895), Pathé (1896), Nordisk Film, (1906), and Universal Studios. It is the last major film studiostill headquartered in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles.

  Paramount Pictures is noteworthy for having three films that have surpassed the $1-billion-mark in worldwide box office sales:
·         Titanic (1997; $2,186,800,000)
·         Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011; $1,123,794,079)
·         Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014; $1,065,153,989)

  In 2006, Paramount became the parent of DreamWorks SKG. Soros Strategic Partners and Dune Entertainment II soon afterwards acquired controlling interest in the live-action films released through September 16, 2005, the latest film in this package was Just Like Heaven. The remaining live-action films through March 2006 remained under direct Paramount control. However, Paramount does own distribution (and other ancillary) rights to the Soros/Dune films.
