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, 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 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]
