Munich, 19 January 2026 - An important step in the German-speaking home cinema market: LEONINE Studios has taken over the physical distribution of Paramount Pictures for Germany, Austria and Switzerland at the beginning of 2026.

The well-known series and films that will be available via LEONINE in future include Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, Sonic the Hedgehog, Paw Patrol, The Godfather, Yellowstone and Dexter. The first highlights of the new sales launch include the third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, The Running Man as well as high-quality UHD and collector's editions of classics such as Barbarella, The Warriors and Catch Me If You Can.

Michael Meier, Head of Home Entertainment DACH at Paramount, emphasises the strategic importance of the partnership: "With LEONINE, we have found an extremely competent partner in the German-speaking region. We look forward to working together and to continuing to serve the physical home entertainment market with strong Paramount titles."
