Background


The CBS network had formed a previous CBS Film, Inc. as its syndication arm in 1952, but due to FCC regulation, was forced to spin off the company. CBS made a brief move into film production in 1967, creating Cinema Center Films and closed in 1972 as an unprofitable unit. In 1979 CBS launched a new theatrical films division, which was officially named CBS Theatrical Films the following year. While this was in operation, CBS entered into a joint venture with Columbia Pictures and HBO called Tri-Star Pictures. CBS eventually dropped out of the venture in 1985, and CBS Theatrical Films came to an end that same year. In 2000, CBS was bought by Viacom, which also owned Paramount Pictures.[5]



Company history


In March 2007, following the 2006 split from Viacom which retained Paramount, CBS Corp. launched CBS Films with the hiring of Bruce Tobey as head of business affairs, legal, finance and video distribution. Amy Baer was hired in September 2007 as president and CEO for CBS Films.[2] With CBS owning a cable movie channel, this division was created to make content for the channel.[3] On November 17, 2009, CBS signed with Sony Pictures for a three-year deal for international distribution.[6][7]


The studio's launch seemed to well timed to its executives with the closure or restructuring of many film studios including the formerly prominent Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Miramax Films and Warner Independent Pictures. Also that CBS will be able to well market its films with all its parent corporation's advertising channels from broadcast to billboards.[1]


The studio released its first film, Extraordinary Measures, on January 22, 2010[1] and flopped. CBS Films released its second film, a romantic comedy The Back-up Plan, in April 2010 with so-so results. Opening over the five-day Thanksgiving weekend, Faster, its third film and the Dwayne Johnson action flick, was weak at the box office with a $12 million start.[8] In August, the company purchased distribution rights for the first time for the remake movie, The Mechanic.[9] CBS moved to replace Bruce Tobey, chief operations officer, with Wolfgang Hammer in November 2010.[8]


After releasing five films and only one gross over $30 million, CBS Films's revenue are lower than expected. Effectively after its March 2011 release, CBS halts its film slate and moves to acquire films at film festivals. Baer also is released after the ended of her contract in October with a trio of senior executives left to head up the division.[10]


On April 23, 2012, CBS Films named Hammer and Terry Press Co-Presidents. Press, who had been consulting for the studio since 2010, oversees creative, distribution, marketing and physical production. Hammer will oversees all business, finance, legal affairs and acquisitions, including financed, co-financed and completed projects for the division.[11] Hammer moved CBS Films into becoming a major film acquisition mover thus allowing internal projects to development more. CBS's highest profile purchase was $4 million for Inside Llewyn Davis which won Cannes' Grand Prix and nominations for two Academy and 3 Golden Globe awards.[12]


In July 2014, Hammer moved from being co-president to being a consultant for digital.[12] In 2015, Lionsgate took over CBS Films' U.S distribution and global sales functions.[13] In 2017 Deadline.com reported CBS Films would finance Jane the Virgin actor Justin Baldoni's first directing/producing effort based on an original script by Mikki Daughtry and Tobias Iaconis.[14]


CBS Films is schedule to release four films to the theatrical market and be folded into CBS Entertainment Group in 2019. There after, CBS Films would move to making films for CBS All Access.[15]



Filmography


The pay-cable rights to the new CBS Films' library are held by CBS's premium cable networks Showtime and The Movie Channel.[2]Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions also has U.S home entertainment distribution rights and foreign theatrical and home entertainment distribution rights for all CBS Films pre-2015 products,[6] before Lionsgate took over CBS Films' distribution functions.[13]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
