Working Title Research.

Working Title was formed in 1984 by Tim Bevan and Sarah Radclyffe (who left in 1992 and Eric Fellner became co-chairman with Tim Bevan.)
Working Title's first known film is 'My Beautiful Laundrette.' in 1985 which was nominated for an Oscar.
Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner are the current co-chairmen of Working Title and they are considered to be vital to the film industry as they have successfully managed to make Working Title an international brand as well as the most successful British production company ever.
Universal now own part of Working Title as Universal owns PolyGram. PolyGram was arguably the foundation for Working Title films in the American Film industry as without its investment in the distribution rights in Working Title films, the WT franchise would of never have been able to break the ice in the American film industry. This can be seen with the success of films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994 Mike Newell). Four Weddings and a Funeral had a budget of $4.5 million and grossed $52,700,832 (USA) and grossed £25,532,239 (UK) and finally $245,700,832 (worldwide).
Universal have invested over $2bn into WT over the last 10 years and WT are allowed to make any film with a budget up to $35million before consultation with NBCUniversal.
