Paramount Pictures Communications boss Crispe Trikin leaves the studios – Deadline

Exclusive: We listen to Chris PetrikinEVP of Global Communications and Corporate Branding is leaving Paramount. The news is Jim Zianops Planning a departure of Melrose Lot as president and CEO, Brian Robbins has added a film studio director to his growing portfolio. I was unable to contact a spokesperson for Paramount.

Petrikin has been in this role for over four years, moving from 20th Century Fox to Paramount in the wake of Jim Gianopulos. Previously he was a former studio boss and spent 10 years as a communications director. Petrikin is known for his strong and extensive relationships with journalists, passionate industry advisors and the studio’s effective communicator. From the press squirrel, he will be sorely missed. Throughout his career, from 20th Century Fox to Paramount, he has provided ingenious advice on box office revenue and various studio operations.

At Fox, Petrikin also oversaw philanthropy for corporate communications, media relations, commercial advertising, awards campaigns, special events and the studio’s global operations. Prior to Fox, Petrikin was senior vice president of communications for William Morris. Variety, daily variety, Inside.com When inside Reviews and GQ, Squire, Los Angeles Times, First magazine When Salon.com. He is also a graduate of Tulane University.

Paramount still has a few former 20th Century Fox executives who worked with Janoplos, including Emma Watts, the president of the film group. Chris Alonson, President of the National Distribution Division. Mark Twainstock, President of Global Marketing and Distribution.

Earlier this week, I heard that Paramount is on track for future theatrical releases, despite being seen as a serious cornerstone of the studio under ViacomCBS, from film to streaming. Not that much. Believe it or not, they respect windows.
