Motion Picture Corporation of America (MPCA) was co-founded by Brad Krevoy in 1986 to focus on producing, acquiring, and distributing commercial motion picture and television projects. Since its inception, MPCA has produced, acquired, and distributed nearly 200 movies, including more than 20 major studio theatrical releases. With an ambitious slate encompassing thousands of hours of popular content for major theatrical release, broadcast and cable television, and digital streaming, these projects have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide in all media to date, earning the company its reputation as a leading provider of film and TV products at all budget levels, and as an aggressive sales and marketing force with U.S. studios and international buyers.
In its early years, MPCA became known for its ability to produce commercial feature comedies, including DUMB AND DUMBER, the Farrelly Brothers’ first feature film starring Jim Carrey, which generated a gross worldwide box office of $250 million; KINGPIN starring Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid, and Bill Murray; BEVERLY HILLS NINJA starring Chris Farley; and Disney’s JUNGLE 2 JUNGLE starring Tim Allen.
MPCA also produced the critically acclaimed drama TAKING CHANCE starring Kevin Bacon for HBO Films, which premiered on HBO to the highest ratings of any original film in the past five years and was nominated for 10 Emmys (winning one), PGA, WGA, DGA, ASC, ACE, and SAG awards, and two Golden Globes (Best Film and winning for Best Actor, Kevin Bacon). TAKING CHANCE is based on the heartwarming story of military escort Lt. Col. Michael Strobl’s journey across America to bring fallen Marine PFC Chance Phelps to rest with his family.
MPCA’s recent productions have focused on family-friendly content for Peacock, CBS, Netflix, Paramount, The Hallmark Channel and more. WHEN CALLS THE HEART, currently in production on its 9th season, is now the Hallmark Channel’s longest-running and highest-rated original series; Netflix’s CHRISTMAS PRINCE trilogy, the PRINCESS SWITCH 1, 2 & 3 starring Vanessa Hudgens, and HOLIDAY IN THE WILD starring Rob Lowe and Kristin Davis, all of which were Top 3 Original Movies for Netflix in their respective years; THE CROSSWORD MYSTERIES starring Lacey Chabert; and A CHRISTMAS MELODY starring Mariah Carey; and more than 70 other movies for Hallmark that set ratings records.
MPCA’s upcoming slate of films includes Paramount’s reboot of the classic spy franchise THE SAINT, to be directed by Dexter Fletcher (BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY & ROCKETMAN) and starring Chris Pine. MPCA is also developing a sequel to KINGPIN with the Farrelly Brothers, and a return from the original cast.
To date, MPCA’s motion picture and television projects have grossed more than $1 billion worldwide in all media, earning the company its reputation as a leading provider of commercial motion picture product at all budget levels and an aggressive sales and marketing force with U.S. studios and international buyers.
