Paramount Global Co-PDG Brian Robbins outing in the middle of the fusion of Skydance

Brian Robbins has released as a co-PDG of Paramount Global and President-C-PDG from Paramount Pictures and Official of Nickelodeon.

“This moment of transition is, of course, soft-amer. But I move away with a deep pride of what we have built together, and with great confidence in the coming road,” said Robbins in the staff note. “The company is in exceptionally capable hands with David Ellison and the incoming team of Skydance, and I know that you will continue to prosper and excel with your collective talents.”

The affable executive waited to confirm his imminent departure until one day before the official closure of the merger of $ 8 billion. Earlier this week, Skydance chief David Ellison – who orchestrated the agreement and will become CEO of the new Global Global Global – announced his management team, including the co -chairs of entrants Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein.

Robbins, who was exploited to execute Paramount Pictures in 2021 following a successful passage to Nickelodeon, assumed the enlarged role of the CO-PDG of Paramount Global in April 2024 alongside George Cheeks and Chris McCarthy after the ouster of Bob Bakish and the Shari Redstone company in his first series of negotiations with the Parydance.

To say that Robbins led the film studio during tumultuous periods is an understatement. Not only Paramount faced his own internal tumult, but he also saw the studio through the pandemic and double strikes of the 2023 workforce. However, he quickly won skeptics, in particular given the limited resources with which he was given to work. And we gave him accessories to have theatrical chances on titles that could have gone directly to streaming, as Smile And Wicked girls.

“We have invigorated beloved properties and extended franchises, in particular Sonic the hedgehog,, Shout,, Ninja Turtles mutant teenage,, A quiet place And Mission: Impossible. We defended the new bold films as Smile And Bob Marley: a loveand delivered new taken on classic films like Wicked girls And The naked pistol – and of course – this team is behind the most profitable film in the history of the studio, Top Gun: Maverick“Wrote Robins.

Mission: Impossible And Top gun were both co -financed by Skydance, which means that Ellison and Robbins worked in close collaboration.

In the last quarter, the filmed entertainment activities of Paramount Global, including Paramount Pictures, saw its income increase by 2% to $ 690 million, with theatrical income increasing by 84% thanks to Impossible mission: the last calculationcompensated by a drop in licenses.

“While I think about our time together, we have jointly experienced an incredible quantity of change and transformation,” also said the executive. “Thanks to global disturbances, a change in public behavior and a major evolution in industry, your perseverance and your creativity have never hesitated. You have remained concentrated, resilient and engaged in our shared mission: telling beautiful stories that captivate the public. ”

There is no word on what he will do next.

When I went for the first time on the Paramount Pictures Lot as a young filmmaker many years ago, I never imagined that I would have one day designed to direct this vegetable studio. This was one of the greatest privileges of my life to work alongside such an extraordinary group of people – creators, executives, teams – whose passion and dedication continue to inspire me every day.

As I think about our time together, we have jointly experienced an incredible quantity of change and transformation. Thanks to global disturbances, a change in public behavior and a major evolution in industry, your perseverance and your creativity have never hesitated. You have remained concentrated, resilient and engaged in our shared mission: telling beautiful stories that captivate the public. With engagement and care, we have brought a new life to the franchises of our studio, extended to new platforms and reinforced our footprint through film, television, streaming and consumption products.

You have helped give life to stories that entertain, resonate and endure and recall the public why theatrical questions – why the experiences shared in the dark pieces still have the power to unite. We have invigorated beloved properties and extended franchises, including Sonic the hedgehog,, Shout,, Ninja Turtles mutant teenage,, A quiet placeAnd Mission: Impossible. We defended the new bold films as Smile And Bob Marley: a loveand delivered new taken on classic films like Wicked girls And The naked pistol – and of course – this team is behind the most profitable film in the history of the studio, Top Gun: Maverick. In the wake of Covid, we led the accusation to bring the public back into the rooms at a time when the world aspired to connection and the community, leading to a record year in the history of the studio.

At Nickelodeon, I am particularly proud of the way in which we have honored the emblematic heritage of the brand while establishing new connections with today’s generation thanks to innovative content, an intelligent digital strategy and an expansion of the deep franchise – Bob Top And Ninja Turtles mutant teenage has Dora has Patrol and beyond. In addition, our revolutionary and awarded simulcasts of EMMY® of the NFL qualifiers and Super Bowl games established the bar for a massive commitment with a younger generation during these sporting events. Consequently, we extended Nick standing as a creative spring and as a brand of entertainment for children n ° 1.
