Kosove and Johnson moved to Los Angeles, California, where they started a film production company with financial capital from Frederick W. Smith, the founder and chairman of FedEx. The company became known as Alcon Entertainment. Their first feature film, Lost & Found, had limited box office returns, but their second film, My Dog Skip, cost only $7 million to produce and grossed $34M domestically. Alcon's other productions include P.S. I Love You, Dude, Where's My Car?, The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, The Book of Eli, Insomnia (the first studio distributed film for director Christopher Nolan), and Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners.
In 2009, Kosove and Johnson produced Alcon's The Blind Side, which became the highest grossing sports film of all time.

The following year, Alcon Entertainment produced and financed Dolphin Tale, another modestly budgeted family film that grossed $100M in worldwide box-office.
