History

In 1992, Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall left Amblin Entertainment to form their own self-titled banner The Kennedy/Marshall Company with a three-year first look deal at Paramount Pictures. After leaving Amblin, Marshall directed and Kennedy produced Alive which was released in 1993 as a Kennedy/Marshall production; however, the first film under their deal with Paramount was Milk Money (1994). In 1995, the duo left Paramount Pictures with a three-year production deal at the Walt Disney Studios. In 1998, the company tried their first foray into television, signing a development pact with CBS to air Kennedy/Marshall's television shows for the network. Later that same year, the studio left Disney for Universal Pictures, with an eleven-year deal. In 2005, Kennedy/Marshall entered its foray onto the Broadway fold to bring the Off Broadway revival Hurlyburly to Broadway. In 2009, they left Universal Pictures for Sony Pictures Entertainment. Two years later, they left Sony Pictures for DreamWorks Pictures. In 2012, Kennedy left to join Lucasfilm as president. During the same year, the studio signed a deal with CBS Television Studios to produce TV shows made for the company.
