Chairman / CEO
Paramount chief Gianopulos was in the news as the co-chair of the committee that crafted controversial new inclusion standards for the best picture Oscar, announced in September 2020. But most of his time was dedicated to engineering his studio’s continued box office comeback, led by the Oscar-winning Elton John biopic “Rocketman,” which grossed upwards of $200 million globally, and “Sonic the Hedgehog,” which earned $307 million worldwide before COVID-19 shut down theaters, making it the highest grossing video game adaptation of all time. He also continued to increase the output of Paramount Television Studios, headed by Nicole Clemens, which produces shows for Amazon (“Jack Ryan,” “Jack Reacher”), Apple TV Plus (“Shantaram,” “Home Before Dark”), HBO Max (“Station Eleven,” “Grease: Rydell High,” “Made for Love”), now-defunct Quibi (“Varsity Blues”) and other platforms.
