Mandeville Films is an American independent film production company headquartered in Burbank, California which was founded in 1995 by film producer David Hoberman. After a short hiatus for three years, the company re-formed as Mandeville Films and Television in 2002 with Hoberman and Todd Lieberman as partners and co-owners.
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.
In 1999, Hoberman hired Ashok Amritraj, who was an employee of Franchise Pictures, joined the company, renaming it to Hyde Park Entertainment as a film financer and producer. The Hyde Park company split deals with Walt Disney Studios and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.
In 2002, Amritaj and Hoberman split their ties, and Hoberman itself reformed Mandeville Films with an exclusive five-year contract with Walt Disney Studios. 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 2 movies 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.
In May 2018, Mandeville Films ended its partnership with Disney to sign with Universal Pictures for a "first-look production agreement". However, Mandeville is still set to be co-producing several live-action films with Disney.
