Rat Pack Filmproduktion GmbH is a German film production company owned by Constantin Film. In 2021, they released Germany's most successful Netflix film to date, the horror thriller Blood Red Sky.^[1]

History

Rat Pack Filmproduktion GmbH was founded by Christian Becker with Anita Schneider, Jürgen Egger, Alexander Rümelin, Catarina Raacke and Constantin Film in January, 2001 in Munich, Germany.^[2] Inspired by the "Rat Pack" of the 50s/ 60s, the company logo also consists of curved letters reminiscent of the lettering of the sixties or large casinos. The animated Rat Pack logo in the opening credits of the films, the so-called trademark and brand name of Rat Pack, is thereby completely changed or adapted as a recurring gag for cineastes in each theatrical film to match the type of film. The logo is also used in the films as a gimmick.^[3]
