Hello I would like to edit the "Highest Gross Film" section. Can I please edit it so i can make some changes? Rockinwill123 (talk) 18:07, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:19, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed change: Portuguese, not Spanish

The logo with the subtitles “Distribuida pela Paramount” is in Portuguese, not Spanish. rfernand (talk) 13:59, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Studio tours

The "Studio tours" section appears to be written like an advertisement. Do you agree? Lamp301 (talk) 00:56, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. @Lamp301: The article is about a world wide company but this section about a specific site appears to be tacked on without any context. Is this particular site historic? Who established this site? Besides fans of movies and sitcoms, why any interest in this site? Section needs to be rewritten and the title changed to refer to the specific property. Studio tours can be mentioned as part of an overall explanation. Fettlemap (talk) 18:46, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 5 May 2019 re: "Revenue" column of Paramount Pictures article

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Currently, it says Paramount makes 3,041 billion in revenue (this would be 3.04 trillion, a highly unlikely figure). Upon checking the linked source I confirmed that this was not accurate (in fact, their investor relations documents say just over $741M for 2018, nowhere does it say Paramount Pictures made 3.04 trillion or billion). The real number is not in the source linked either so I'm not sure where the initial figure is from. Hosnappp (talk) 23:29, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The document discusses Viacom having had a revenue of 3,000 million (so our figure was way off), and seem to have applied to Viacom as a whole and not Paramount Pictures. Have removed the number. – Þjarkur (talk) 23:52, 5 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On the Highest-Grossing Films section in the Paramount Pictures' Wikipedia, Mission: Impossible - Fallout is listed twice on the Highest grossing films in North America. The Mission: Impossible - Fallout listed at #24 with $204 million should be removed and replaced with Monsters vs. Aliens which should be at #25 with $198,351,526 made (World War Z should be moved up to #24). <https://www.the-numbers.com/box-office-records/domestic/all-movies/theatrical-distributors/paramount-pictures> Polterroid (talk) 17:59, 17 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The line in the Logo section that says that a CGI version was created in 1986 seems to differ from the image box featuring the named artist not creating the image basis for that logo until 1995. And the state of CGI in 1986 was not up to the challenge. Maybe that '1986' is just a typo for '1996'? Food for thought. 108.67.193.248 (talk) 20:51, 3 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Seems OK to me. CGI worked fine in 1986, for example Tron came out in 1982 and used lots of CGI. RudolfRed (talk) 19:42, 9 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

New logo

The current logo, reminiscent to the very first logo from 1917 to 1967, was made after Paramount Global had taken its current name to avoid confusion between the studios. The logo can be seen at the very bottom of the studio's official site^[1] and on the recent posters to Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (2022).^[2]^[3] The logo will replace the 1967 logo on future Paramount Home Entertainment home releases, starting on June 7, 2022.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

UPDATE: The new Paramount Pictures logo will take the old one place a week early on May 31,^[9] according to the new overview image to The Untouchables' upcoming 4K release on Blu-ray.com.

SECOND UPDATE: The new Paramount Pictures logo will be introduced even more early on April 12, with a reprint of Escape from Alcatraz (1979).^[10]

Each source shows that the original 1967 logo won't be used anymore and the new 2022 logo will be used fully after its introduction. --XSMan2016 (talk) 15:25, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to find a high-res, official version of the new logo and upload it so we can use it here. InfiniteNexus (talk) 23:41, 16 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Split Paramount Pictures History section into its own article

The history section has become too lengthy and it makes it difficult to scroll through the article comfortably. I propose that it should be split into its own, and a summarized history is put in place. Pretty much like with all the other major American film studio (Walt Disney Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, Universal Pictures), and the major broadcast network (CBS, NBC and ABC) articles. Averyfunkydude23 (talk) 08:48, 4 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we could separate it from Paramount Pictures Corporation like the other studios. It would help sort things a bit more. 2601:152:5080:9D30:24DC:4F06:7749:5A6B (talk) 07:04, 2 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Separate article from Paramount Pictures Corporation

Maybe we could separate "Paramount Pictures" and "Paramount Pictures Corporation" like the other studios. It could help sort things a bit especially the History section. Other majors (e.g. Walt Disney Studios/Walt Disney Pictures and Warner Bros. Entertainment/Warner Bros. Pictures) follow this too. I understand that Paramount is renowned for its extra studios, it's expanded over the years. Alongside the flagship, it has Republic Pictures, Miramax, and Paramount Players. Paramount even established "Paramount Motion Picture Group" much like "Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group." 2601:152:5080:9D30:842:E50E:AEB3:6A47 (talk) 07:03, 17 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
