Has Paramount given up?

I made an older thread, probably deleted for its incendiary title, so something more subtle then.

With the release of 48 Hours, Paramount has gone and released a total of 2 movies this year. Both, unfortunately have sub-par transfers.

In 2009 they released 46 movies, in 2010, 14. They have 29 releases OOP by far the most of any studio.

So, given that they don't release anything, how on Earth is it that when they do, they flop miserably?

I heard a rumour that they were in trouble over money, though that seems unlikely.
