Producer Broderick Johnson is co-CEO and co-founder of Alcon Entertainment, the Los Angeles-based wholly independent production company that develops, finances, produces and markets theatrical motion pictures for distribution by Warner Bros.
Johnson produced alongside co-CEO Andrew Kosove Alcon's critically acclaimed box-office hit
"The Blind Side," for which they were Oscar nominated for producing the Best Picture nominee, and for which Sandra Bullock won the Oscar for Best Actress. "The Blind Side" grossed more than $309 million worldwide and broke box office records as the first film with a female lead to surpass the $200 million mark, earned in its seventh week. It also is the most successful sports movie of all time.
Johnson's nomination for Best Picture was also a milestone in Oscar history as prior to Johnson and Lee Daniel's nomination for "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' By Sapphire," only one African American producer had been nominated in this category - Quincy Jones for "The Color Purple" in 1985.
Alcon followed up the success of "The Blind Side" with the hit action thriller "The Book of Eli," directed by Albert and Allen Hughes and starring Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman and Mila Kunis. It marked Denzel Washington's second biggest opening, and third highest grossing film.
The Company's next release is "Joyful Noise," a music driven comedy starring Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton slated for release January 13, 2012.
