Working Title and Universal

Working Title is a London based film production company.
Producing feature films and several television productions.
Founded in 1983 by Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe.
Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan are now the co-chairs of the company.

In 1992, PolyGram became the Working Title's corporate backer.
Working Title produced films for PolyGram's London-based production company; PolyGram Filmed Entertainment / PolyGram Films.

In 1999, PolyGram was sold to Seagram, which merged with MCA Music Entertainment, forming Universal Music Group.
In the same year, PolyGram Films was sold into Universal Studios.

Although Working Title are able to contractually produce $35 million budget films, Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner have to consult with studio executives at NBCUniversal, Working Title's 'parent company.'

The existing deal that Working Title has with Universal was meant to be an exclusive arrangement, due to expire in 2013.
However, they've now extended their production agreement through 2015.

Working Title is still located in London.
But the company now has other offices in Ireland and Los Angeles.
