as head of the studio behind the “Mission: Impossible” and “Transformers” franchises.
News of Robbins’ promotion leaked on Friday, stunning many studio insiders with the ouster of the well-liked Gianopulos, but a formal announcement came Monday. Robbins is a former child actor who once starred on ABC’s “Head of the Class.” He reinvented himself as a producer and director, overseeing such films as “Hardball,” “Varsity Blues,” and the critically pummeled “Norbit,” before becoming an entrepreneur.
At Paramount, Gianopulos restored the money-losing studio to profitability, oversaw box office hits such as “A Quiet Place” and “Sonic the Hedgehog,” and guided the company through the darkest days of the pandemic, selling movies like “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Without Remorse” to streaming services when theaters were shuttered. Gianopulos sounded a valedictory note in his statement.
“Jim is nothing less than legendary in this business, and I am humbled and grateful to him for his years of mentorship and friendship during our time working together,” said Robbins in his own statement. “I am excited about the future for Paramount Pictures, and I want to thank Bob Bakish for the opportunity to use this incredibly powerful and broad canvas to produce films for every audience and deliver them in the ways today’s consumers want to experience them.
