EuropaCorp is a French film company headquartered in Saint-Denis near Paris. Eurpacorps takes on a range of activities including film production, international film distribution, DVD sales, TV rights, merchandising and advertising.

History
Luc Besson and Pierre-Ange Le Pogam worked together for the first time in 1985, on the movie Subway, directed by Luc Besson. Pierre-Ange le Pogam was then Distribution Director at Gaumont. Subsequently, virtually all the films that Luc Besson made with Gaumont between 1985 and 1999 topped the three-million ticket mark at the box office (e.g. The Big Blue, Nikita, Léon, The Fifth Element and The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc). Meanwhile, Pierre-Ange Le Pogam developed innovative promotional techniques at Gaumont which he applied for the first time in Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element. This film is France’s biggest export success of all time.

In 1997 Pierre-Ange Le Pogam became Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Gaumont.
 In September 2000 Europacorp was founded by filmmaker Luc Besson and former Gaumont manager Pierre-Ange Le Pogam.

In July 2007 EuropaCorp successfully managed its IPO on Euronext Paris.
 In May 2008, the CSA, French authority for media regulation, has selected "EuropaCorp TV" project in its invitation to apply for a mobile TV channel in France.
 In 2013 Lisa Ellzey, hitherto producer for Lions Gate and 20th Century Fox, was appointed as executive vice president of U.S. Motion Picture Production.

Today EuropaCorp is owned at 62% by Luc Besson through its company Frontline and at 8.06% by Pierre-Ange Le Pogam; 23% is public.

Luc Besson is the Chairman of EuropaCorp's Board of Directors.
 Jean-Julien Baronnet has been the Chief Executive Officer of EuropaCorp since November 2008.
