Bradley Fuller Net Worth

What Is Bradley Fuller's Net Worth?

Bradley Fuller is an American film and television producer who has a net worth of $40 million. Professionally known as Brad Fuller, he is best known as a co-founder of Platinum Dunes, the production company he created with director Michael Bay and producer Andrew Form.

Platinum Dunes initially specialized in relatively inexpensive remakes of established horror properties. Its early successes included "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "The Amityville Horror," "Friday the 13th," and "A Nightmare on Elm Street." The company later shifted toward original franchises, producing "The Purge," "Ouija," and "A Quiet Place."

Fuller also produced the commercially successful "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" reboot and its sequel. His television credits include the pirate drama "Black Sails," the military series "The Last Ship," the action thriller "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan," and the television adaptation of "The Purge."

Films produced through Fuller's companies have collectively grossed more than $3 billion at the worldwide box office. His fortune comes from producer fees, overall studio agreements, profit participation, and his ownership interests in private production companies.

Early Life and Education

Bradley Fuller was born on November 5, 1965, in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in a family with longstanding connections to the movie-theater business.

His maternal family operated theaters in Southern California, while his grandfather, Sherrill Corwin, expanded the family's exhibition business and became involved in film production.

Fuller attended Wesleyan University in Connecticut and graduated in 1987. Michael Bay had graduated from Wesleyan one year earlier, and their shared connection to the university helped form the basis of their later partnership.

Platinum Dunes

Fuller, Bay, and Andrew Form founded Platinum Dunes in 2001. The company developed a business model centered on recognizable horror titles produced with controlled budgets.

Its first major release was the 2003 remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre." Made for less than many major studio films, the movie earned more than $100 million worldwide and established Platinum Dunes as a valuable supplier of profitable genre movies.

The company followed that success with "The Amityville Horror," starring Ryan Reynolds, and "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning." Later remakes included "The Hitcher," "Friday the 13th," and "A Nightmare on Elm Street."

Although critical reaction to the company's remakes was mixed, many were commercially successful because of their recognizable titles, effective marketing, and relatively modest production costs.

The Purge and Ouija

Platinum Dunes achieved one of its greatest successes with "The Purge." The 2013 film was produced on a budget of roughly $3 million and earned nearly $90 million worldwide.

The movie generated multiple sequels, including "The Purge: Anarchy," "The Purge: Election Year," "The First Purge," and "The Forever Purge." It also inspired a television series.

Fuller produced "Ouija" in 2014. Despite poor reviews, the low-budget horror film earned more than $100 million worldwide. Its sequel, "Ouija: Origin of Evil," received stronger critical reviews and further demonstrated the profitability of Platinum Dunes' production model.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Fuller expanded beyond horror as a producer of the 2014 reboot of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." The film earned nearly $500 million worldwide.

He returned for the 2016 sequel, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows." Although the sequel was less profitable, the two movies demonstrated that Platinum Dunes could manage larger studio franchises in addition to low-budget horror projects.

A Quiet Place

Fuller, Form, and Bay produced "A Quiet Place," which was directed by and starred John Krasinski. Released in 2018, the film earned more than $300 million worldwide against a production budget of less than $20 million.

"A Quiet Place" received strong reviews and became one of the most successful original horror films of its decade. Fuller received a Producers Guild of America Award nomination as part of the film's producing team.

He returned for "A Quiet Place Part II" and the prequel "A Quiet Place: Day One." The franchise became one of Paramount's most valuable modern horror properties.

Fully Formed Entertainment

In 2018, Fuller and Andrew Form left Platinum Dunes' existing arrangement and launched Fully Formed Entertainment. The new company signed a first-look production deal with Paramount Pictures.

Fuller and Form separated professionally in 2020 when Form moved into a partnership with John Krasinski's Sunday Night Productions.

Fuller continued developing movies independently and later resumed his partnership with Michael Bay.

Return to Platinum Dunes

In 2022, Fuller returned to Platinum Dunes and reunited with Bay. The company signed an overall agreement with Universal Pictures to develop film and television projects.

Fuller's subsequent producing credits have included "Apartment 7A," "Elevation," "The Astronaut," "Drop," and a new version of "Anaconda." He has also remained involved in the continuing expansion of the "A Quiet Place" franchise.
