- Paramount Pictures and Warner Music Group signed a multi‑year first‑look deal to develop theatrical films based on WMG’s catalog of artists and songwriters.
- Unigram, WMG’s production partner led by Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron, will collaborate with Paramount and the artists or estates on each project.
- Warner Music Group also maintains a separate creative partnership with Netflix that focuses on documentary productions.
- Paramount plans to produce scripted and animated features where music is a central character, tapping the label’s roster of legends such as David Bowie, Madonna, and contemporary stars like Dua Lipa.
Why it matters: Paramount and Warner Music can monetize the label’s star‑studded catalog through feature films, but with zero projects currently in development the partnership must move fast to turn the catalog into box‑office hits.
