Show detail Hide detail

Paramount Pictures : Paramount Pictures Inc. has its origins in Famous Players Film Company founded by Adolph Zukor. It was officially formed as a distributing company in 1914 by W.W. Hodkinson with Jesse Lasky, Adolph Zukor, Hobart Bosworth, and other producers in New York. In the 1920s the company began producing films under the name Paramount Pictures. In 1927 it changed its name to Paramount Famous Lasky Corporation and in 1930, to Paramount Publix Corporation. After bankruptcy in 1933 the company was reorganized and named Paramount Pictures Inc., with Zukor serving as chairman of the board emeritus. Gulf & Western Industries acquired the company in 1966, followed by Viacom Inc., in 1994. The studio is located in Hollywood, California. Paramount Pictures Inc. has an extensive network for the domestic theatrical distribution of its motion pictures. International distribution of Paramount's feature films is generally handled by United International Pictures (UIP). Paramount Pictures Inc. distributes its motion pictures on film, video and DVD in the U.S. and Canada through Paramount Pictures Corporation (Canada) Ltd., Paramount Home Video, and Paramount Home Entertainment.
