Paramount Pictures has produced some of the highest grossing and most successful films of all time, including Titanic, Forrest Gump, Star Trek, and the Transformers and Iron Man franchises. Paramount has also partnered with major entertainment companies like DreamWorks, Marvel, and Nickelodeon to produce films. While the DreamWorks partnership ended in 2012, Paramount has since established its own animation division to produce films starting in 2014. Paramount has a long history in the film industry dating back to 1912 and has survived economic downturns while continuing to produce hugely successful films and franchises.
