Icon Productions

Icon Productions, also formerly referred to as Icon Entertainment International (stylized as ICON), is an Australian-American independent film production and distribution company founded in August 1989 by actor/director Mel Gibson and Australian producing partner Bruce Davey. Icon Productions LLC's headquarters were established in Santa Monica, California, before opening branches in Sydney, Australia, and in the UK, and expanding into the business of film distribution. Between 2008 and 2009, the company's UK operations were sold to Access Industries, and in March 2018, Icon Film Distribution UK was sold to Kaleidoscope Film Distribution UK. As of 2025, the parent company Dendy Icon Group in Australia, still held by Gibson and Davey, owns Icon Productions, Icon Film Distribution, Dendy Cinemas, and Icon Film Finance. There is also an Icon Productions office in Santa Monica, run by Vicki Christianson.
