History
In 1990, Charles Roven and partner Bob Cavallo formed Roven/Cavallo Entertainment.[2] At the same time, wife Dawn Steel, who was formerly employee of Columbia Pictures formed Steel Pictures, and signed a deal with Walt Disney Studios to produce feature films.[3]
In March 1994, they merged Roven/Cavallo Entertainment with Steel Pictures to create a new entity Atlas Entertainment, and it signed an exclusive feature film deal with Turner Pictures, with international backers, including TF1.[4][5]
In 1997, Bob Cavallo left Atlas Entertainment to join Walt Disney Studios.[6] Later that year, Dawn Steel, a manager in the company, died.[7]
On July 29, 1999, Atlas Entertainment was merged with Gold/Miller Management to create Mosaic Media Group.[8]
In 2008, Charles Roven split off their ties from Mosaic Media Group, and relaunched Atlas Entertainment with a first-look deal at Sony Pictures.[9]
On May 6, 2014, Atlas promoted Curt Kanemoto from production executive to VP of production, joining Andy Horwitz and Jake Kurily, Topher Rhys-Lawrence from first assistant to creative executive, joining Rebecca Roven and Dan Wiedenhaupt, and promoted Patrick Blood from Atlas executive to VP of legal and business affairs.[10] In December 2014, Atlas started its subsidiary, a management company called Atlas Artists, headed by Dave Fleming.[11]
Charles Roven and Richard Suckle produced 2013 film American Hustle, for which both producers were nominated for Academy Award for Best Picture.[12] 12 Monkeys episode “Mentally Divergent” was also nominated for Cinematography Awards.[13][14] Atlas also produced the films The Whole Truth with Suckle, while Warcraft (release date June 10, 2016) and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (release date March 25, 2016) with Roven.[11][15][16] Uncharted was also produced by Atlas along with Arad Productions.[17] Atlas co-produced the 2023 film Oppenheimer with Syncopy Inc., which won multiple accolades, including the Academy Award for Best Picture for Roven, Emma Thomas and director Christopher Nolan.
