The company was officially established on May 21, 1986, in order to produce mid-to-high budget action films that were financed entirely by a studio, starting with Predator, a co-production with Lawrence Gordon Productions and Silver Pictures, and a series of other films that were planned for release by 20th Century Fox.  It was decided that it would be done independently with co-investors, and it would help anticipate the expansion of telefilms and sitcoms.[1]On February 18, 1987, Davis Entertainment partnered with Mark L. Lester of his Mark Lester Films company in order to handle the development of action-adventure films which were produced by the company, directed by Mark L. Lester, and it was independently financed by the two companies. The films that were made by the Lester\/Davis alliance had ranked in the $5\u201310 million range, and would expect the co-venture to handle the production of two films before the yearend.[2]In 1994, it launched its first foray into interactive games, and launched Catapult Entertainment, Inc. to produce its interactive video games.[3] That same year, Davis Entertainment Company signed a production deal with 20th Century Fox to develop feature films.[4][5]In 1995, Davis Entertainment launched its art-house division Davis Entertainment Classics,[6] which was subsequently renamed Davis Entertainment Filmworks in 2002.[7] In 1998, Davis Entertainment struck a deal with 20th Century Fox Television to produce television shows for its networks, both broadcast and cable.[8]In 2007, Michael Dorman joined its television division. At the same time, they signed a development pact with Fox Television Studios to produce series for television.[9]In 2011, John Fox, a former employee of 20th Century Fox, joined the company.[5] In 2013, it signed a deal with Sony Pictures Television to develop television shows for platforms, broadcast, cable and streaming.[10]Filmography[edit]Theatrical films[edit]1980s[edit]1990s[edit]2000s[edit]2010s[edit]2020s[edit]Upcoming[edit]Direct-to-video films[edit]1990s[edit]2000s[edit]Television movies[edit]1990s[edit]2000s[edit]2010s[edit]2020s[edit]Television series[edit]2010s[edit]YearTitleCreatorsNetworkNotes2013\u2013presentThe BlacklistJon BokenkampNBCco-production with Open 4 Business Productions, Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television2013Ironsidebased on the 1967 series by:Collier Youngdeveloped by:Michael Caleoco-production with Post 109, Yellow Brick Road Productions and Universal Television2015The PlayerJohn RogersJohn Foxco-production with Kung Fu Monkey Productions, Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television2015\u20132017Dr. KenJared SternKen JeongJohn FoxABCco-production with Old Charlie Productions, ABC Studios and Sony Pictures Television2016\u20132018TimelessEric KripkeShawn RyanNBCco-production with Kripke Enterprises, MiddKid Productions, Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television2017The Blacklist: RedemptionJon BokenkampJohn EisendrathLukas ReiterJ.
