Hasbro Films, or Hasbro Film Group, is a film development unit with in Hasbro Studios, a division of Hasbro tasked with developing movies for Hasbro properties.[7]

Background

Hasbro had a 1980s animated Transformers movie. Waddingtons, later purchased in 1994 by Hasbro[8], Clue's US licensee, had a Clue movie made in 1985. Hasbro had previously licensed Transformers to DreamWorks for a live action film released in 2007.[9] The Transformers franchised continued with Paramount Pictures, the distribution of and acquirer of DreamWorks, with the addition of the G.I. Joe property.[6]

History

Hasbro and Universal Pictures signed an agreement in February 2008 to derive and produce four films from seven Hasbro properties: "Battleship," "Candy Land," "Clue," "Magic: The Gathering," "Monopoly", "Ouija," and "Stretch Armstrong." Hasbro was to pay for all development cost for the films and Universal was supposed to pay a $5 million for properties not made into films.[6] In May, Bennett Schneir was hired to head up its film division[10] while Hasbro also reacquired from Sunbow Productions animated series based on Hasbro properties.[11]

By 2012, all Hasbro properties at Universal — except for Battleship — had their development halted. While Hasbro's film division continued to have an office on the Universal lot, Hasbro was able to take the Universal agreement properties to any studio.[6] Universal paid a multimillion dollar fee instead of the $5 million/property to get of the agreement.[12] On 31 January 2011, it was announced that Columbia Pictures, Happy Madison, and Adam Sandler were in final negotiations to develop the Candy Land film.[13] In February, Stretch Armstrong was set up with Relativity Media.[6] In October, Hasbro signed a three picture co-production two year deal which includes a first look provision with Emmett/Furla for Monopoly, Action Man, and Hungry Hungry Hippos with Envision Entertainment’s partners Stepan Martisoyan and Remington Chase as co-financier.[14][15] In December, Hasbro transferred the feature films division into Hasbro Studios along with its other short form film division.[1]
