Mandeville Films is an American film production company headquartered in Burbank, California. The company was founded in 1995 by David Hoberman.[1] After a three year hiatus, the company re-formed as Mandeville Films and Television in 2002; Hoberman and Lieberman were partners and co-owners.[2]
Key Information
History
[edit]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, Todd Lieberman became studio partner and as president.[4] A week later, Hoberman and its employees both left Mandeville to form a self-financing outfit, Hyde Park Entertainment, with Ashok Amritraj (former founder of Franchise Pictures), with split deals at the Walt Disney Studios and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) as the company initially went inactive.[5][6]
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][7] 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.[8]
In May 2018, Mandeville Films ended its partnership with Disney to sign with Universal Pictures for a "first-look production agreement".[9] In 2022, Todd Lieberman split off their ties from the production company.[10] The group was later reformed as Hobie Films with a deal with Lionsgate on February 21, 2023.[11]

Mandeville Films
View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
Mandeville Films is an American independent film and television production company founded in 1995 by producer David Hoberman and headquartered in Burbank, California.[1]
The company specializes in a diverse slate of character-driven stories across genres, including comedies, dramas, and thrillers, with its feature films collectively grossing more than $1.6 billion worldwide at the box office.[2]
Notable productions include the romantic comedy The Proposal (2009), the biographical drama The Fighter (2010), the live-action adaptation Beauty and the Beast (2017), the family drama Wonder (2017), and the long-running detective series Monk (2002–2009), which earned multiple Emmy Awards.[1][3]
Initially established under a first-look deal with Walt Disney Pictures, Mandeville Films expanded its television arm in the early 2000s, producing hits like Monk for USA Network and securing multi-year agreements with Disney and later Universal Pictures in 2018.[4][5]
In 2022, longtime partner Todd Lieberman departed after over two decades to launch his own banner, Hidden Pictures, in partnership with Lionsgate; Hoberman retained ownership of Mandeville Films and established Hobie Films in 2023 as a complementary venture.[6][7]
The company continues to develop projects such as the sequel film Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie (2023) and the Holocaust drama White Bird (2024), maintaining its focus on emotionally resonant narratives.[8][1]
History
Founding and early years (1995–2001)
Mandeville Films was established in January 1995 by David Hoberman, a seasoned film executive who had served as president of production for Walt Disney Pictures, overseeing the development and production of numerous feature films during his six-year tenure at the studio.[9][10] Upon departing Disney, Hoberman secured an exclusive five-year multi-picture production deal with Walt Disney Studios, allowing him to produce two to three films annually through his new independent banner.[9] The company established its headquarters in Burbank, California, at 500 South Buena Vista Street.[11] In its founding phase, Mandeville Films focused on developing and producing feature films under the Disney agreement, marking its debut with sports comedy The 6th Man in 1997, directed by Randall Miller and starring Marlon Wayans. That same year, the company co-produced the family adventure George of the Jungle, a live-action adaptation of the classic cartoon series, which grossed over $174 million worldwide and highlighted Mandeville's early capability in handling high-profile Disney releases. Subsequent projects included the 1998 action thriller The Negotiator, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kevin Spacey, further demonstrating the banner's range in genre output during this period. By 1999, Hoberman shifted focus by partnering with producer Ashok Amritraj to launch Hyde Park Entertainment, an independent film and television production and financing company based in Brentwood, California.[12] As part of this venture, Hoberman folded Mandeville Films into Hyde Park, which secured a first-look deal with 20th Century Fox to finance and distribute at least four films per year with budgets ranging from $40 million to $80 million.[12] This restructuring resulted in Mandeville Films entering a hiatus from active production between 1999 and 2001, as Hoberman prioritized the new entity's operations.[13]Reformation and expansion (2002–2017)
Following a three-year hiatus, Mandeville Films was reformed in 2002 as Mandeville Films and Television, with David Hoberman reuniting as co-owner and partner alongside Todd Lieberman.[14][15] This reformation marked a shift toward collaborative production, leveraging Hoberman's prior Disney connections to secure an exclusive deal with Walt Disney Studios, enabling the company to resume feature film development under the Touchstone Pictures banner.[4][16] The renewed Disney partnership quickly yielded commercial successes, including the 2003 comedy Bringing Down the House, directed by Adam Shankman and starring Steve Martin and Queen Latifah, which became one of the year's top-grossing films with over $132 million in domestic earnings.[17] This deal was extended in 2005 with a five-year first-look agreement, further solidifying Mandeville's output of mid-budget hits like the 2005 spin-off Beauty Shop, a comedy featuring Queen Latifah that grossed $38 million domestically and expanded the Barbershop franchise.[4][18] By the early 2010s, the collaboration produced blockbusters such as the 2011 reboot The Muppets, directed by James Bobin and starring Jason Segel, which revitalized the franchise and earned $88 million domestically while receiving an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song.) Mandeville's films during this era collectively grossed over $1 billion domestically, reflecting a strategic blend of indie dramas and family-oriented blockbusters.[15] Mandeville also expanded into television production during this period, launching the flagship series Monk in 2002, an Emmy-winning USA Network procedural starring Tony Shalhoub as an OCD-afflicted detective, which ran for eight seasons through 2009 and became cable's highest-rated original scripted series at its peak.[19][6] Produced in association with Touchstone Television, Monk exemplified Mandeville's growing television footprint, earning multiple awards including a Golden Globe and eight Emmys,[20][21] while highlighting the company's ability to balance scripted series with feature films. A notable indie success was the 2010 biographical drama The Fighter, directed by David O. Russell and produced under the Disney deal, which starred Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale and received seven Academy Award nominations, including wins for Bale in Supporting Actor.[22] This diversification underscored Mandeville's evolution into a versatile production entity, focusing on character-driven stories amid commercial viability.[23]Studio transitions (2018–2021)
In May 2018, following the global success of Beauty and the Beast (2017), which grossed over $1.26 billion, Mandeville Films ended its more than 20-year first-look deal with The Walt Disney Company and signed a new first-look production agreement with Universal Pictures.[24][25] This transition enabled the company to pitch projects to Universal for financing, distribution, and collaboration while maintaining creative control.[24] The shift marked a strategic pivot after a prolific Disney era, allowing Mandeville to explore broader opportunities beyond family blockbusters. Key releases during this period highlighted the company's adaptability, including the late Disney-era family drama Wonder (2017), a transition project distributed by Lionsgate that earned $306 million worldwide and emphasized themes of empathy and inclusion.[26] Under the Universal deal, Mandeville produced the biographical adventure The Aeronauts (2019), released on Amazon Prime Video and starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones as pioneering meteorologist James Glaisher and aviator Amelia Wren.[27] The company also extended into television with the Netflix thriller series Hit & Run (2021), co-created by Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, which followed a man's quest for justice after a hit-and-run incident.[28] David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman sustained their collaborative partnership through the Universal phase, overseeing development of family-oriented and dramatic projects to diversify Mandeville's portfolio.[25] Examples included securing film rights to Naomi Novik's Scholomance YA fantasy series in 2020 for adaptation into a feature film.[29] The duo prioritized live-action adaptations and genre blends, such as hybrid animations, while navigating ongoing commitments like Disney collaborations. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the industry in 2020, leading to widespread production halts and delays for Mandeville's projects.[30] Notably, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, a live-action/animated Disney+ film, faced postponement from an initial 2021 release to May 2022 due to shutdowns and rescheduling.[30] Despite these setbacks, the company maintained its Burbank, California headquarters and adapted operations to remote workflows, ensuring continuity in pre-production and development across genres.[31]Split and recent developments (2022–present)
In February 2022, after more than two decades as partners, David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman announced their amicable split from Mandeville Films and Television, allowing each to pursue independent paths while wrapping existing commitments.[6] Lieberman subsequently launched his own production company, Hidden Pictures, in July 2022, entering into a partnership with Lionsgate to develop film and television projects.[32] Mandeville Films continued operations under Hoberman's sole leadership, maintaining its established relationships with studios like Lionsgate. In February 2023, Hoberman launched the Hobie Films banner as a new venture focused on original content, while simultaneously overseeing development at Mandeville.[7] Key recent releases under Mandeville include the Disney+ hybrid film Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers in 2022, the Lionsgate romantic action comedy Shotgun Wedding later that year, the Peacock mystery Mr. Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie in 2023, and the Lionsgate drama White Bird in 2024.[33][34][35] As of early 2025, Hoberman maintained a dual role leading both Hobie Films and Mandeville Films, emphasizing continued production of family-oriented and inspirational content.[36] Ongoing projects include potential extensions of the Phineas and Ferb franchise, building on Mandeville's prior involvement in its animated features.[37] Post-split, the company's outlook has centered on uplifting dramas and family films, as exemplified by White Bird's focus on themes of kindness and resilience during the Holocaust.[38]Productions

Mandeville Films entered the feature film production landscape in the late 1990s, focusing on comedies and family-oriented adventures often in collaboration with Disney subsidiaries.

Over the decades, Mandeville expanded into dramas, romantic comedies, and high-profile adaptations, contributing to major commercial hits and award contenders.

Television series
Mandeville Films entered television production following its reformation in 2002, focusing on character-driven procedurals that blend crime-solving with deep personal narratives.[6] The company's output emphasizes ensemble dynamics and psychological depth, distinguishing its series from more formulaic formats. The most prominent example is Monk (2002–2009), an Emmy-winning crime dramedy on USA Network that ran for eight seasons and 125 episodes.[42] Produced in association with Touchstone Television, the series follows Adrian Monk, a brilliant detective grappling with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and earned eight Emmy Awards, including three for lead actor Tony Shalhoub.[21] Its success, with over 100 episodes showcasing Monk's phobias and relationships, solidified Mandeville's reputation for long-running, impactful procedurals that prioritize character arcs alongside case resolutions.[43] Mandeville also produced Detroit 1-8-7 (2010–2011), a one-season ABC drama comprising 18 episodes centered on the Detroit Police Department's homicide unit.[44] Co-produced with ABC Studios and Remainder Men Films, the series explored gritty urban investigations through intertwined personal stories of detectives like Damon Washington and Ben Crowley, though it did not receive major awards.[45] In 2007, Mandeville collaborated with Lionsgate Television on The Kill Point, a Spike miniseries limited to eight episodes depicting a botched bank heist by Iraq War veterans.[46] The tense, hostage-driven narrative highlighted moral ambiguities and veteran struggles, earning praise for its character-focused intensity but no Emmy recognition.[47] Mandeville expanded into streaming with Hit & Run (2021), a Netflix thriller limited to one season of nine episodes.[48] Created by Fauda co-creators Lior Raz and Avi Issacharoff, the series follows a widower unraveling a conspiracy after his wife's hit-and-run death, blending action with emotional intrigue across New York and Tel Aviv; it was canceled after its debut.[49]| Series | Network | Years | Seasons | Episodes | Key Notes |
