Paramount Decree | Vibepedia

The Paramount Decree, resulting from the 1948 Supreme Court case United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc., prohibited film production companies from owning exhibition companies, transforming the way Hollywood movies were produced, distributed, and exhibited. This decision opened the door for more foreign and independent films to be shown in U.S. theaters. The case is a significant milestone in the history of the film industry, with far-reaching implications for the entertainment sector.
