Radar Pictures, Inc. is an American motion picture production company that was formed in 1984 by Ted Field, after obtaining the assets of Interscope Communications.{{Cite web |last=Lyons |first=Dana Harris,Charles |date=2000-10-11 |title=Radar on screen with '44' |url=https://variety.com/2000/film/news/radar-on-screen-with-44-1117787583/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}

History

In 2000, Interscope Communications was spun off after Field bought out a share of the company's assets from USA Films and became Radar Pictures, and acquired the use of Interscope's film library in its development slate, as well as its set of features that were slated to be Interscope productions. Ted Field continued to partner with longtime Interscope partner Scott Kroopf at Radar Pictures.

In 2001, the company struck a deal with Good Machine International to handle sale of the company's film productions. The deal does not include existing projects that were set up at other studios.{{Cite web |last=Harris |first=Cathy Dunkley,Dana |date=2001-02-24 |title=Pix on the Radar |url=https://variety.com/2001/film/markets-festivals/pix-on-the-radar-1117794183/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Goodridge2001-02-27T14:42:00+00:00 |first=Mike |title=Good Machine on Field's Radar |url=https://www.screendaily.com/good-machine-on-fields-radar/405138.article |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Screen |language=en}} The company's first film, They, was released in 2002. Good Machine eventually merged with USA Films and Universal Focus to form Focus Features, which inherited sales of Radar's productions for several years.{{Cite web |author=Variety Staff |date=2002-07-29 |title=Focus |url=https://variety.com/2002/scene/markets-festivals/focus-1117870375/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |last=Rooney |first=David |date=2003-11-24 |title=Sharp Focus |url=https://variety.com/2003/film/awards/sharp-focus-1117896172/ |access-date=2024-10-16 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}
