Paramount Pictures, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1912, employs approximately 4220 individuals, and specializes in content rights. The company reported $2.0B in revenue as of 2024, functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer. Operating under its parent company, Paramount Filmed Entertainment, Paramount Pictures is an American film production and distribution company and the flagship namesake subsidiary of Paramount Skydance, recognized as the sixth-oldest global film studio and the second-oldest in the United States behind Universal Pictures, and is one of the "Big Five" film studios located within the city limits of Los Angeles.
On May 1, 2026, a group of five consumers filed a lawsuit against Paramount Skydance, seeking to block its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery and unwind the earlier merger that joined the Melrose Avenue studio with David Ellison's Skydance Media. The plaintiffs allege that both deals reduce marketplace competition. This follows earlier reports from the same day that Paramount+ subscribers were also suing to stop the Warner Bros. Discovery sale. At that time, it was noted that Attorneys General across the country and many politicians had discussed mounting legal challenges to Paramount Skydance's purchase of Warner Bros. Discovery, but none had yet taken action to stop the deal.
