Summary:
In 2018-19, Paramount Pictures accounted for $3.1 billion (24%) of Viacom's total revenue. Viacom released one kid-rated movie with smoking in each of 2018 and 2019, its lowest numbers in a decade. Its only kid-rated film with smoking in 2019 contained a single tobacco incident. However, Viacom's growing interest in Miramax's heavy-smoking film library (82% of its top-grossing films feature tobacco), bears close watching. Viacom reunited with CBS in December 2019.
