Paramount Home Entertainment: Difference between revisions

'''Paramount Home Entertainment''' (formerly "'''Paramount Home Media Distribution'''", "'''Paramount Home Video'''", and "'''Paramount Video'''") is [[Paramount Pictures|'''Paramount''' Pictures]]' home media division and was formed in 1979 (some sources claim late 1975). The company owns the home media rights to films and shows owned by Paramount and shows from sister companies CBS Entertainment Group (under the label [[CBS Home Entertainment]]) and Paramount Media Networks (under individual labels such as [[MTV Home Entertainment|MTV Home Video]] and other subsidiaries). The company also licenses the right to release material from several independent studios. They formerly released [[DreamWorks Animation]] material through [[DreamWorks Animation Home Entertainment]] until 2014, when the latter acquired distribution rights to their library and transferred the rights to [[20th Century Studios Home Entertainment|20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]]. On September 27, 2011, Paramount Home Entertainment was renamed Paramount Home Media Distribution after merging with Paramount Digital and Television. Starting in 2012, the [[Republic Pictures]] library and select Paramount films were licensed to Olive Films and Kino Lorber. From 2013-2016, the company licensed the home media rights to most of the Paramount Pictures (with some exceptions) library to [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]]. Paramount continues to release licensed material and material from sister companies. In May 2019, Paramount Home Media Distribution was renamed back to Paramount Home Entertainment.
