Imagine Entertainment
Imagine Entertainment, originally known as Imagine Films Entertainment and often referred to simply as Imagine (stylized as IMAGINE), is a privately held American production company specializing in film and television. It was established in November 1985 by producer Brian Grazer and director Ron Howard.
Origins
The collaborative efforts of Brian Grazer and Ron Howard began in 1982 with the film Night Shift, where Howard served as director and Grazer as co-producer. Their partnership continued to flourish with the 1984 hit Splash.
Imagine Films Entertainment Formation
Imagine Films Entertainment was created in November 1985 following the success of Splash. This company resulted from the combination of Ron Howard's Major H Productions and Brian Grazer's Brian Grazer Productions. Going public in 1986, Imagine initially collaborated with Tri-Star Pictures to produce both feature films and television content, granting Tri-Star first refusal rights for syndication purposes. The initial public offering was set at $8 per share, including warrants, to fund theatrical releases, TV series, mini-series, and made-for-TV movies.
In 1986, Imagine secured a five-year agreement with Showtime/The Movie Channel, Inc. to create original programming for premium cable television. This contract included pay-per-view rights and the potential development of exclusive long-form dramas for Showtime, broadening Imagine's presence in the premium cable sector.
By April 1987, producers Philip and Mary Ann Hobel entered into a first-look development arrangement with Imagine through Hobel Productions to supply contemporary comedy and drama projects, thereby strengthening the company's content development pipeline.
On July 29, 1987, Imagine ended its exclusive distribution relationship with Tri-Star Pictures, shifting toward project-based collaborations to allow greater flexibility in financing and distribution methods.
In November 1987, Imagine moved its financial and administrative headquarters from New York to Los Angeles, coinciding with the exit of CEO Neil Braun. Shortly thereafter, on December 1, 1987, Imagine inked a long-term multiple-picture production and distribution deal with Universal Pictures, which included financing for roughly 30 films over five years. This agreement also contemplated Universal acquiring a 20% ownership stake in Imagine.
After reaching a peak stock price of $19.25 following its IPO, Imagine's shares plummeted to $2.25 amid the 1987 market crash. In 1988, the company partnered with MCA TV (Universal Television) for television content distribution; MCA obtained exclusive network and home video rights while Imagine maintained domestic distribution responsibilities. The television division concentrated on producing half-hour comedies, whereas MCA handled hour-long network programming.
In September 1988, Robert Harris—formerly president of Universal Television Group at MCA—joined Imagine as president overseeing motion pictures and television. Under his guidance, the company expanded its portfolio of original cable feature projects across networks such as Showtime, HBO, TNT, USA Network, and MTV.
On May 29, 1989, Imagine entered into a joint venture with Central Independent Television to produce between four and six television films and mini-series annually aimed at international markets. MCA held an approximate 20% equity stake in Imagine and managed international distribution on a per-project basis. This venture sought to reach U.S. buyers beyond major commercial networks by engaging cable channels like TNT and HBO.
In May 1989, Imagine partnered with Second City entertainment group to develop syndicated late-night talk/comedy shows distributed by MCA TV. This collaboration utilized Second City's talent roster in productions such as My Talk Show (1990–91). Additionally, HA!: The Comedy Network collaborated with Imagine and MTM Enterprises to create series featuring performers from Second City.
In 1990, Imagine introduced a family-oriented film label named Imagine Family Films aimed at competing within the family entertainment sector dominated by Disney. The label targeted producing three G- or PG-rated movies annually timed for holiday releases. Early projects included remakes like Flipper and adaptations such as Curious George. Distribution agreements granted Universal theatrical, network television, foreign market, and home video rights while theme park licensing was handled by Universal Studios Florida.
By 1991, after underwhelming performance from shows like My Talk Show and Parenthood, Imagine closed its original television division and terminated its exclusive production partnership with MCA Inc., resulting in layoffs affecting nearly 40% of its workforce.
As of May 1992, nearly 48% of Imagine's shares were publicly traded at $9.375 per share. Founders Ron Howard and Brian Grazer negotiated a new six-picture arrangement with Universal while proposing a $9 per share buyout offer aimed at privatizing the company via IFE Acquisition Co., supported by Universal's financing commitment. By January 1993, shareholders approved this buyout plan allowing the founders to restructure the company's assets under private ownership.
Imagine Entertainment
At the start of 1997, Imagine Entertainment reactivated its television division and entered into an agreement with Disney to develop TV series, a contract that lasted until the close of 2000. Meanwhile, its film production remained tied to Universal. This arrangement provided enhanced access to Disney's television programming lineup, granting Imagine exclusive rights to develop half-hour comedies, hour-long dramas, TV movies, and miniseries. Tony Krantz was appointed co-chairman of the television division, joining founders Brian Grazer and Ron Howard in leadership.
By 2000, Imagine formed a partnership with 20th Century Fox Television focused on TV series development, with the agreement scheduled to conclude in 2016. Following disappointing box office performances in 2011 for titles such as The Dilemma, Cowboys & Aliens, and Tower Heist, Imagine encountered a less advantageous renewal with Universal in January 2012. This led to workforce reductions and a transition from an exclusive deal to a first-look arrangement. In 2013, the company began exploring different financing strategies, including crowdfunding efforts for a potential Friday Night Lights movie.
Later in 2013, Michael Rosenberg was elevated to co-chairman while Erica Huggins assumed the role of president. Early 2016 industry reports revealed a $100 million investment collaboration with Raine Group, which was publicly confirmed in February of that year.
On April 5, 2017, Imagine entered into a six-picture agreement with Warner Bros. and Australian visual effects and animation firm Animal Logic to develop, finance, and produce both animated and live-action films. That July, it secured a four-year first-look co-financing and television production contract with CBS Corporation, creating content for CBS networks and streaming services under the joint leadership of Grazer and CBS CEO Les Moonves.
In February 2018, Imagine gained controlling interest in Jax Media, followed by acquiring a majority stake in content producer Marginal Mediaworks in November. By June 2020, it made a significant investment in Jigsaw Productions, helmed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney, broadening its documentary offerings.
More recently, Imagine signed a first-look agreement with Apple Originals. In January 2023, Justin Wilkes was promoted to President. Additionally, in March 2023, the company secured a multi-year first-look film and documentary deal with Amazon Studios.
Feature-film division
The feature-film branch has contributed to more than sixty projects and maintains a close relationship with Universal Pictures, which has distributed numerous Imagine films, occasionally collaborating with other studios. By 2010, Erica Huggins had advanced from senior vice president of motion picture production to co-president of production.
