How Chernin Entertainment Started
Peter Chernin created Chernin Entertainment in 2009. This was after he left his job at News Corporation, which owned Fox at the time.
The company's first movie was Rise of the Planet of the Apes in 2011. When the company started, it made a special agreement with 20th Century Fox and 20th Century Fox Television. This agreement was called a "first-look deal." It meant that Chernin Entertainment would show its new movie and TV ideas to Fox first.
Over the years, the company's team grew. Jenno Topping became the President of Film and Television. David Ready is also a key leader in the film and TV departments.
In 2015, Chernin Entertainment also made a deal with NBCUniversal to create TV shows for them. Later, in 2017, they signed another deal for drama shows with Endeavor Content.
In 2020, Disney ended its main deal with Chernin Entertainment. Disney wanted to make more of its own movies. But Chernin Entertainment still works with Disney on some projects, like the Planet of the Apes movies. After this, Chernin Entertainment made a new big deal with Netflix to create movies for them.
In September 2020, Chernin Entertainment also teamed up with Spotify. This partnership allows them to turn popular Spotify podcasts into movies and TV shows.
What Chernin Entertainment Produces

Other movies include the science fiction film Oblivion with Tom Cruise, and the action-comedy The Heat starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock.
