Earlier this summer, Paramount became the first Hollywood studio to reach $1 billion in domestic grosses, aided by the $180.7 million opening of Dark of the Moon over the July 4 holiday.
This is the fifth year in a row that Paramount has reached the milestone before any other studio in North America. Paramount International crossed the $2 billion mark on July 30, making it the first for any studio this year to reach the benchmark.
