Background
This is the production company of Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald. Its origins go back to 1991 when Parkes and MacDonald got its own production company Aerial Pictures, which is first set up at Columbia Pictures. In 1993, it was moved to 20th Century Fox. Later that year, it was moved and merged into Amblin Entertainment, and later at DreamWorks Pictures, in order that Parkes will fill the seat left by the departure of Kathleen Kennedy.
In 2005, he revived the idea of being its own production company, which is called "Parkes + MacDonald Productions" (aka P+M), which is set up at DreamWorks Pictures.
In 2012, the duo stuck a deal with Imagenation Abu Dhabi (now Image Nation) to form a joint venture organization. Since then, P+M has collaborated on the production costs of a number of films that Amblin and Image Nation have produced, including the Men in Black film series from the third film onwards.
