Grazer
Cofounder / Chairman
Grazer and fellow Imagine chief Ron Howard engaged in a round of buyout talks in the summer of 2021 with international banks, a Middle Eastern sovereign wealth fund and former Disney execs Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs (armed with $2 billion in capital from Blackstone Group). There were no immediate takers for the 36-year-old prodco, which had a price tag of $800 million to $825 million, and so Grazer went about business as usual, closing a pod producing deal with Noor Alfallah and Remi Alfallah, executive producing series including “Dan Brown’s The Lost Symbol” (Peacock), “The Ms. Pat Show” (BET+) and “Swagger” (Apple TV+) and producing films including Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Tick, Tick… Boom!” (Netflix) and Howard’s “Thirteen Lives.”
