Seven Bucks Productions is a U.S.-based production company established in 2012 by actor-entrepreneur Dwayne Johnson and his manager and former spouse Dany Garcia. The firm operates in the realms of film, television, digital platforms, and innovative technologies, focusing largely on content associated with Johnson’s acting ventures. By 2024, it has amassed $4.6 billion in box office earnings. Its affiliated entities include Seven Bucks Digital Studios and Seven Bucks Creative.
History
Seven Bucks Productions was created by actor and business figure Dwayne Johnson alongside his manager and co-founder Dany Garcia. The company’s name reflects the seven dollars Johnson had after departing from the Canadian Football League prior to his WWE career. Johnson holds the position of CEO and co-owner with Garcia. In 2017, Hiram Garcia, Dany’s brother, advanced to president of production, taking charge of project development.
Other senior leaders encompass Chelsea Friedland (vice president of production since 2017), Kevin Hill (head of television and digital development from 2018), Maya Lasry (chief marketing officer since 2019), Kimberly Bialek (executive vice president of development and production starting in 2020), Scott Landsman (head of television as of 2023), and Melissa Fried (vice president of film development and production since 2023).
In June 2024, Seven Bucks Productions entered into a first-look agreement with The Walt Disney Company to create theatrical and streaming motion pictures, broadening its international reach. Subsequently, it also secured a first-look deal with 20th Television, strengthening its strategic position in content creation.
