2. Who are we?
We were founded in 1998, as Paramount
Classics, and changed our name in 2006 to
Paramount Vantage.
Our founders are David Dinerstein and Ruth
Vitale, but our current President is John Lesher
and his co-president is Nick Myer.
We are currently based in Los Angeles, USA.

3. Industrial Hierarchy
Many of the films we aim to produce and our
agenda is to make smaller, award contending
that are character and story driven films. This
includes foreign language films and
documentaries.

5. Least Successful Film
A social worker fights to save a girl from
her abusive parents, only to discover
that the situation is more dangerous
than she ever expected.
Made for $27 Million and only had a box office
revenue of $28,189,979, meaning the film only
made a profit of only $1,189,979 which was
disappointing considering the fact that the film
stars Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper

6. Professional Relationships
We share a professional relationship with
Paramount Pictures who are our parent
company.
Another company we have worked with on ‘Year
of the Dog’ and ‘A Mighty Heart’ is Plan B
Entertainment.
We also worked closely with Miramax films of 2
of our highest grossing films, ‘No Country For
Old Men’ and ‘There Will Be Blood’.

7. What we are best at
producing?
Some of out biggest and most successful films
are those that have been smaller ‘Passion
projects’.
We have found these to be some of our most
successful films as they are not made if a
massive budget and do not get as much
promotion as other blockbuster films.
