Paramount Pictures Corporation, commonly known as Paramount Pictures or simply Paramount, is an American film and television production and distribution company and the namesake subsidiary of Paramount Global. It is the sixth-oldest film studio in the world, the second-oldest film studio in the United States (behind Universal Pictures), and the sole member of the "Big Five" film studios located within the city limits of Los Angeles.
In 1916, film producer Adolph Zukor put 24 actors and actresses under contract and honored each with a star on the logo. In 1967, the number of stars was reduced to 22 and their hidden meaning was dropped. In 2014, Paramount Pictures became the first major Hollywood studio to distribute all of its films in digital form only. The company's headquarters and studios are located at 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, California.
A member of the Motion Picture Association (MPA), Paramount's most successful commercial film franchises include the first four Indiana Jones films, first four Marvel Cinematic Universe films, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, Transformers and the third and fourth Shrek films (as well its spin-off film), and the studio's highest-grossing film worldwide is Top Gun: Maverick, with box-office of $1.496 billion. Additionally, the studio also produced many individual films, such as Titanic and Breakfast af Tiffany's, both preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
