Unfortunately, Cinema Center didn't prove to be profitable. The vast majority of its films lost money. Stulberg took a job with Creator/TwentiethCenturyFox in 1971, and CBS, not willing to continue, closed Cinema Center in 1972. But in the next few years, CBS started making money from Cinema Center movies via syndication and cable airings, which prompted them to try again with the launch of a new division in 1979. It was officially named CBS Theatrical Films the next year. It focused on smaller movies meant more for TV sales than box office success. After a handful of productions the unit was closed in 1986.

The merger with Creator/{{Viacom}} in 2000 officially made CBS part of the same corporate family as Creator/{{Paramount}}, giving the network a ''de facto'' film division again, but corporate restructuring split CBS and Viacom in 2007. Wanting to keep a hand in film production, CBS created CBS Films. It initially did full productions, but after a while focused on acquiring independently-produced works. In 2019, CBS and Viacom re-merged. Paramount was once again aligned with CBS, so CBS quietly shut down CBS Films and switched its focus to creating original film content for Creator/CBSAllAccess.

This was actually the third film production venture for Creator/{{CBS}}. They'd launched Cinema Center Films in 1967, but it proved to be unprofitable and was closed in 1972. They decided to get back into the film business in 1979, starting a new division that was officially named CBS Theatrical Films the following year. CBS Theatrical Films came to an end in 1985.

Following the split from Creator/{{Viacom}} in 2007, CBS made its own film department. In 2019, following the merger with Creator/{{Viacom}}, CBS Films shut down and switched its focus to creating original film content for Creator/CBSAllAccess.

This was actually the third Creator/{{CBS}} has owned and operated three different film production venture for Creator/{{CBS}}. They'd launched units over the years. The first was Cinema Center Films Films, created in 1967, but it proved 1967 in response to the major film studios charging exorbitant prices for networks to obtain broadcast rights for films. CBS and Creator/{{ABC}} (who started ABC Pictures around the same time) decided that launching their own film companies would eliminate the middleman and give their networks a slate of films for which they already controlled the rights. The traditional film studios scoffed at these new ventures, dismissing them as vehicles for lightweight movies ultimately destined for TV airings. Still, CBS made an honest effort to turn Cinema Center into a legitimate film operation. Studio head Gordon Stulberg greenlighted an impressively eclectic lineup of productions, including dramas, [[TheWestern Westerns]], animation, comedies (including family-oriented and edgier styles) and even documentaries. One notable strategy for the studio was to make deals with with big-name stars who owned their own production companies, giving them a degree of creative freedom that the majors wouldn't have been willing to offer. Creator/JohnWayne, [[Creator/SteveMcQueenActor Steve [=McQueen=]]], Creator/DorisDay and Creator/JackLemmon all starred in Cinema Center presentations of films financed by their own companies.

Unfortunately, Cinema Center didn't prove
