The Mark Gordon Company
The Mark Gordon Company (formerly The Meledandri/Gordon Company) is an American production company owned by Mark Gordon. It is notable for their output, including feature films, like Speed, many of Roland Emmerich's films Gordon produced like The Day After Tomorrow, 10,000 B.C. and 2012, and TV shows like Grey's Anatomy, Criminal Minds, The Rookie and Ray Donovan.
In 1987, film producers Mark Gordon and Chris Meledandri, the latter of whom would later go on to found Illumination Entertainment, formed The Meledandri/Gordon Company, with a non-exclusive deal with Paramount Pictures. Meledandri quit in 1991 to join Dawn Steel's production company, and it was renamed to The Mark Gordon Company.
Its big break came in 1994 when Gordon made its first success with its film Speed, which grossed $350.4 million at the box office.
Their second big success from Gordon was the 1996 film Broken Arrow, which grossed $150.2 million at the box office.
On December 10, 1995, Gordon merged its own company with Gary Levinson's Classico Entertainment, which ultimately signed a deal with Paramount Pictures after its deal with Fox ends. It was at first known as Cloud Nine Entertainment, before settling on Mutual Film Company.
On September 7, 2000, it was announced that Mark Gordon was quitting Mutual Film Company in order to relaunch his own company. A year later, on October 10, 2001, it signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to produce new films under its own production company and hired Betsy Beers to run the company.
In 2002, Gordon partnered with Bob Yari to launch Stratus Film Company, to produce independent feature films, and hired Mark Gill as executive of the studio. Gordon exited the organization in 2005.
In 2003, Gordon signed a deal with Columbia Pictures to produce its feature films for a three-year pact.
