NEON Rated, LLC, doing business as Neon (stylized in all caps), is an American independent film production and distribution company founded in 2017 by CEO Tom Quinn and Tim League, who also was the co-founder of the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain.[1] As of 2019, League is no longer involved with daily operations for the company.[6]
Its first film, Colossal, was released in 2017.[7] The company became known for distributing such notable films as I, Tonya (2017), Parasite (2019), Portrait of a Lady on Fire (2019), Palm Springs (2020), Flee (2021), Spencer (2021), The Worst Person in the World (2021), Triangle of Sadness (2022), Anatomy of a Fall (2023), Anora (2024), Longlegs (2024), The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024), and The Monkey (2025).[8][9]
Parasite went on to become Neon's highest-grossing film at the worldwide box office with $262 million and the first non-English-language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.[10] In 2024, Longlegs had a domestic box office gross of $58.6 million, becoming the distributor's highest-grossing film ever in North America.[11] Anora became the company's second film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture.[12] Neon has also worked with several high-profile filmmakers, which includes Sean Baker,[13] Bong Joon Ho, Julia Ducournau, Craig Gillespie, Pablo Larraín, and Céline Sciamma.[14]
