This is a list of films originally produced and/or distributed theatrically by the American independent film production and distribution company Neon. The company was founded in 2017 by CEO Tom Quinn and Tim League; the latter is also the co-founder of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain.[2][3][4] Its first film, Colossal, was released on April 7, 2017.[5][6][7]
Additionally, Neon has acquired the distribution rights to five consecutive Palme d'Or winners at the Cannes Film Festival: Parasite (2019), Titane (2021), Triangle of Sadness (2022), Anatomy of a Fall (2023), and Anora (2024).[8] Parasite became Neon's highest-grossing film with more than $200 million at the box office and won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director (Bong Joon-ho).[9][10][11]
