History

Eagle Pictures was founded by Ciro [it] and Stefano Dammicco in 1986.[2] Producer Tarak Ben Ammar acquired a controlling interest in the company in late 2007.[3][4]

In late 2018, Eagle Pictures established a film and television production division, having previously produced Paolo and Vittorio Taviani's The Lark Farm (2007) and Edoardo De Angelis's Mozzarella Stories (2011). It had also acted as a line producer during the Italian shoots of Kingsman: The Secret Service (2014), Point Break (2015), Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017), and 6 Underground (2019).[5]

In January 2020, Eagle Pictures entered into a distribution agreement with Paramount Pictures, after their deal with 20th Century Fox expired earlier that month.[6] In February 2021, Eagle entered into a home entertainment distribution agreement with Sony Pictures.[7] The following year, it also entered into a production and distribution agreement with Sony, effective in 2023.[8][9]

In June 2023, Eagle Pictures announced that they would be investing between €40 and 50 million in the construction of new film studios in Rome.[10][11]

Mergers and acquisitions

In July 2020, Eagle Pictures acquired distributor M2 Pictures for around €8.5 million.[12] In August 2022, it acquired 302 Original Content, a film and television production startup company;[13][14] it was later renamed to Eagle Original Content.[15] In March 2023, Eagle Pictures merged with 3 Marys Entertainment.[10] Later that year, it acquired Blu Yazmine [it], a production company specializing in unscripted television.[16]
