26th Street Pictures is an American film production company founded by Chris Columbus, Mark Radcliffe and Michael Barnathan in 1994 as 1492 Pictures.[1] The name is a play on Columbus's more famous namesake, Christopher Columbus, and his 1492 landing in the Americas.[2] The logo consists of a huge and detailed compass with the company name forming on a background, which is an ocean landscape. In addition, the fanfare for 1492 Pictures was composed by Hans Zimmer. In addition to various Columbus films, 26th Street Pictures has also produced movies by other directors including Brian Levant (Jingle All the Way), Henry Selick (Monkeybone), Alfonso Cuarón (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), Joe Roth (Christmas with the Kranks), Tim Story (the Fantastic Four films), and Shawn Levy (the Night at the Museum series).
