Robert Bruce Simonds Jr. (born 1964) is an American film producer, entrepreneur, and the founder & chairman of STX Entertainment, which creates, produces, distributes, finances, and markets film (as STXfilms), television (as STXtelevision), digital media (as STXdigital), and live events as well as virtual reality (as STXsurreal).[1] According to The Wall Street Journal in its first four years, Simonds more than tripled the company's valuation to an estimated US$3.5 billion.[2][3] In September 2017, it was reported that STX was close to an initial public offering on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (SEHK),[2] and in April 2018, the company announced it had filed for an IPO.[4] In October 2018, it was announced that STX would not go through with the IPO, as political and market conditions had changed.[5] Prior to working at STX, Simonds was an independent film producer whose over 30 films have generated more than $6 billion in worldwide box office revenue.[6] Simonds is reported to have a net worth of $800 million.[7]
