Amblin Partners is an American content creation company which produces and develops films and television programming. It was founded by Steven Spielberg, Jeff Skoll of Participant Media, Anil Ambani of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group and Darren Throop of Entertainment One on December 16, 2015. The company will primarily focus on producing and distributing films and television using the DreamWorks Pictures, Amblin Entertainment and Participant Media brands. For films, it will use the DreamWorks label for mature content, Amblin label for family-friendly content, and Participant label for social justice content, although the latter will remain a separate company.
On the same day as the company's formation, Amblin Partners announced that it entered into a five-year distribution deal with Universal Pictures by which the films will be distributed and marketed by either the main Universal label or its specialty label, Focus Features.
On October 9, 2016, Amblin Partners struck a deal with China's Alibaba Pictures, in which Alibaba acquired a minority equity stake in the company and will handle marketing, distribution, and merchandising of Amblin Partners films in China in addition to co-financing Amblin and DreamWorks films worldwide.
On February 15, 2017, Universal Pictures, a division of NBCUniversal, acquired a minority stake in Amblin Partners, strengthening the relationship between Universal and Amblin.
Film projects in various stages of production include: Ghost in the Shell, distributed by Paramount Pictures set for release on March 31, 2017, and Ready Player One, a co-production between Amblin and Warner Bros. Pictures that is scheduled to be released on March 30, 2018.
