The company announced Monday that CEO and Chairman of Paramount Pictures Jim Gianopulos would pass control of the studio to Brian Robbins. Robbins will carry on in his current role heading up Nickelodeon and take on the added role of president and CEO of Paramount.
Gianopulos will remain in an advisory role through the end of 2021.
