Icon Productions is an Australian-American production company founded in August 1989 by actor/director Mel Gibson and Australian producing partner Bruce Davey,[1] which, unlike most other independent production companies, funds most of its development and production costs, allowing it to retain creative control of its projects.[2] Its headquarters are in Santa Monica, California.
In 2008–2009, the company's UK operations were sold to Access Industries. After the acquisition of Dendy Cinemas, a separate company involved in film distribution only in Australia continued to operate as Icon Film Distribution, using the original logo and still owned by Gibson and Davey.
