<u>Background:</u> After Viacom and CBS Corporation split in 2006, the latter company formed CBS Films to produce and distribute films. The first film from the studio was ''Extraordinary Measures'', released on January 22, 2010. Originally, CBS Films released their films on their own (its predecessors had different studios release their films). Starting in 2015, Lionsgate Films began to distribute the studio's films in the United States (Lionsgate Home Entertainment also distributes the films on home media for CBS Home Entertainment). In January 2019, it was reported that CBS Films would release four theatrical films in 2019, then be folded into the main CBS Entertainment Group, switching its focus to creating original film content for CBS All Access. ''Jexi'' was CBS Films' final theatrical release on October 11, 2019. The ViacomCBS merger closed on December 4, 2019 and returned Paramount Pictures to being a sister company of CBS, making a theatrical subsidiary for the network superfluous. | <u>Background:</u> After Viacom and CBS Corporation split in 2006, the latter company formed CBS Films to produce and distribute films.
