Platinum Dunes is an American film and television production company founded in 2001 by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. The company is mainly known for producing the horror films The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), The Amityville Horror (2005), The Hitcher (2007), Friday the 13th (2009), A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010), The Purge (2013), Ouija (2014), and A Quiet Place (2018).

Overview

The company was founded in November 2001 by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. The company originally partnered with Radar Pictures to produce its films. The deal expired in 2004 and signed with Dimension Films. In 2006, the deal was moved to Rogue Pictures. On October 7, 2009, Paramount Pictures announced a first-look deal with Platinum Dunes. With this, they plan to branch out of the horror genre into action and thrillers. On May 27, 2010, it was announced they would work on the reboot to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film series of the same name. In 2014, Platinum Dunes was named The Hollywood Reporters Producers of the Year. In 2015, the company was also named to The Hollywood Reporters 30 Most Powerful Film Producers in Hollywood. In 2018, Fuller and Form made an amicable split from Platinum Dunes to launch a new production company, Fully Formed Entertainment. In June 2022, Fuller returned to Platinum Dunes, with the company signing an overall first-look deal with Universal Pictures.
