STX Entertainment is entering its next chapter, with new capital, an exciting new slate, and a suite of production services designed to support independent filmmakers. While STX will remain focused on making studio quality films at the right price, it also has plans to invest in the indie ecosystem to drive greater production across the global market.
“The reboot of STX comes at a time where independent filmmakers face challenges across development, packaging, financing, execution and distribution,” shares Peter Coleman, CEO of STX Entertainment. “STX will be a partner throughout the process, backed by a proven track record and a commitment to continue pushing the edge of innovation to support the creative process.”
With this transaction, STX will become affiliated with Crown Productions and Film Services International (FSI), the entertainment services family of global companies, which includes the storied brand Film Finances International as well as production and post-production resources.
“FSI’s foundation was centered in helping indie filmmakers get financing 75 years ago,” Coleman continues. “Now, with our combined businesses, we’re extending STX’s global reach and positioning it as the mini-major studio for independent films. We help bring a filmmaker’s vision to life, support its distribution and, of course, continue producing our own projects.”
STX has delivered standout films such as “Bad Moms” ($183M), “Hustlers”($157M), “The Gentlemen”($115M), “I Feel Pretty ($95M), “The Gift” ($59M), “21 Bridges” ($49M), “Countdown” ($48M), as well as “Greenland,” and its sequel “Greenland: Migration” in theaters January 9, 2026. It is currently in post-production on the first installment of Katie Holmes’ “Happy Hours Trilogy” starring Holmes and Joshua Jackson. STX has a robust slate of projects under development and pre-production, including “Mom Prom” from producer Toby Emmerich, Julie Gluckman and Stacy Kramer, “Crime after Crime” from producers Conor Welch, Nick Stoller, Ike Barinholz and Dave Stassen as well as new projects based on the “Bad Moms”, “Hustlers” and “Countdown” IP, to name a few.
Central to this alliance of companies is Film Finances, the global leader in completion bonds with decades of world-wide experience. A trusted partner to thousands of filmmakers over its history, and its finger on the pulse of independent film since its inception, “making Hollywood happen since 1950”.
This next era builds on this equity as part of an unparalleled industry offering that blends historic leadership with future-thinking perspective.
