History

In 2006, Skydance Productions was formed by David Ellison, which released their first film Flyboys that same year, starring Ellison and co-financed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. Also in 2006, Skydance entered a five-year partnership to co-produce and co-finance films with Paramount Pictures starting in 2009, and renewed the agreement twice extending to 2021. In January 2022, Skydance formed a multi-year feature film deal with Apple TV+, ending its deal with Paramount. However, they will continue to work with Paramount on franchises such as Mission: Impossible, Star Trek, Top Gun, Terminator, Jack Ryan, and Transformers.
