Eric Fellner also started in music videos, making them for the like of Fleetwood Mac and Duran Duran. He then went to work at British production company Initial Pictures, he left initial to join Bevan in 1992.

Working Titles brakthrough film was released in 1994, Four Weddings And A Funeral, a romantic comedy. There was a long dry period where many of their films were not sucessful internationally. They soon worked through it and produced many sucessful films such as:

.Among them

.French Kiss

.Dead Man Walking

.Fargo

.Elizabeth

In 1999 Working Title signed a reported $600 million deal with film giant Universal Pictures, this gave the pair to commision films with a budget of up to $35 million without even consulting their pay masters. It seems that Romantic comedies are what they are best at.
