History

Film executive David Hoberman founded Mandeville Films in January 1995 as he exited Walt Disney Studios with a five-year, multi-picture production deal. [3]

In 1999, Hoberman hired Ashok Amritraj, who was an employee of Franchise Pictures, joined the company, renaming it to Hyde Park Entertainment, which will be a film financer and producer. [4] The Hyde Park company will split deals with Walt Disney Studios and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. [5]

In 2002, Amritaj and Hoberman split their ties, and Hoberman himself reformed Mandeville Films with an exclusive five-year contract with Walt Disney Studios. [2] [6] Hoberman brought along fellow producer Todd Lieberman as a partner, who worked with Hoberman when he was senior vice president for international finance at Hyde Park Entertainment.

When Mandeville Films returned to the studios, it was scheduled to produce two films each for Touchstone and MGM: Walking Tall , Raising Helen , The Last Shot , and Beauty Shop . The studio itself went back to Disney in 2006 to co-produce Eight Below and The Shaggy Dog back-to-back.[ citation needed ]

Mandeville Films has an ongoing partnership with ABC, they renewed their contracts in July 2015, for two more years. [7]
