Depends on which Universal you're talking about. Since this is movies you're talking about, you probably mean Universal Pictures. They're both different companies. Paramount is the subsidary of Viacom. Universal Pictures is the movie division of Vivendi Universal (which was merged with the GE-owned NBC in May). Now if were referring to Universal Studios (which is strictly production), that is owned by Vivendi Universal, however, there are a few Paramount productions running out of Universal Studios (most notably of these is Nickelodeon). So yeah, it gets confusing.
Just my addition to this conversation. Carry on.
