CBS Films Inc. was an American film production and distribution company founded in 2007 as a subsidiary of CBS Corporation and was considered a mini-major studio up until 2019. CBS Films originally was planned to distribute, develop and produce four to six $50 million budget movies a year. After October 11, 2019, CBS Films was re-configured to be a production company for television films to be carried by CBS All Access (now Paramount+).

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 en ...
