Brad Pitt sells 60% of his Plan B production company to French media conglomerate Mediawan, sources say

Brad Pitt is selling 60% of his production company, Plan B Entertainment, to French media conglomerate Mediawan in a deal that’s set to be announced this weekend, according to people familiar with the matter.

The deal, which has been signed, values Plan B in the hundreds of millions but below $500 million, said the people, who asked not to be named because the discussions are private. Neither Plan B nor Mediawan responded to requests for comment.

 

Pitt, the Oscar-winning star of films such as “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and “Fight Club,” founded Plan B in 2001 with his now ex-wife Jennifer Aniston and his then-manager Brad Grey, who died in 2017. Pitt became the sole owner after he and Aniston divorced.

 

The production company has helped make both movies and TV series over the past two decades, including Academy Award-winning movies such as “The Departed” and “12 Years a Slave.” It’s produced several films released this year, including Netflix’.
