Rob Paris
Producer Rob Paris began his career as a literary agent at Agency for the Performing Arts and later joined Creative Artists Agency where he represented a wide range of award winning writers, directors and producers. While in the representation business, Paris packaged and arranged finance for dozens of iconic projects, including Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Dawson's Creek, Donnie Darko, One Hour Photo and The Day After Tomorrow, which grossed over $500 million world wide. After a decade in the representation business Paris formed Mission Entertainment, a development fund backed by Comcast/Spectacor CEO Ed Snider. As head of development he acquired Whip It! a book proposal he packaged and developed as a directing vehicle for Drew Barrymore. Mandate Pictures and Fox Searchlight released the film which starred Barrymore, Ellen Page, Kristin Wiig, Jimmy Fallon and Juliette Lewis. Paris later launched his company ParisFilm, Inc. and acquired spec screenplay The Maiden Heist which attracted an ensemble cast of Oscar® winners and nominees, including Morgan Freeman, Christopher Walken, William H. Macy and Marcia Gay Harden. The film was financed by Yari Film Group and acquired by Sony Pictures Worldwide. Shortly after, ParisFilm, Inc. launched production on Black List comedy Dirty Girl with Juno Temple, Milla Jovovich, William H. Macy, Mary Steenburgen, Dwight Yoakam and Tim McGraw. The Weinstein Company outbid an aggressive field of buyers at the Toronto International Film Festival and released the picture in 2011, the same year Daily Variety placed Rob on its distinguished list of "10 Producers to Watch." That same year Paris formed Crime Scene Pictures, a finance and production company backed by private equity from Singapore and Indonesia. Within weeks of its launch Paris assembled the financing and produced a remake of Gambit written by Academy Award winners Joel & Ethan Coen and starring Academy Award winner Colin Firth, Cameron Diaz Alan Rickman and Stanley Tucci. CBS Films preemptively acquired US distribution rights at the European Film Market in Berlin. In 2013 Paris wrapped production on Everly, an action tour de force starring Academy Award nominee Salma Hayek. Dimension & RADiUS-TWC preemptively acquired domestic distribution rights at the American Film Market that same year. Paris recently returned to the world of horror, producing back to back films with writer/director Osgood Perkins. The Blackcoat's Daughter sold to A24 amidst competitive bidding at the Toronto International Film Festival and I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House was preemptively acquired by Netflix immediately thereafter.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
