CBS Films Inc. was an American film production and distribution company founded in 2007 as a subsidiary of CBS Corporation[3] and was considered a mini-major studio up until 2019.[4]

CBS Films originally was planned to distribute, develop and produce four to six $50 million budget films a year.[2] 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+).[5]
