Netflix to develop TV shows and Hart's next stand-up special.
YouTube funds "What The Fit" as part of its premium video initiative and has renewed it for a season 3. Its YouTube channel has 3.7 million subscribers, and one of its shows "Kevin Hart: What The Fit," in which Hart and a celebrity guest conduct an interview while doing insane exercises, has over 275 million views across all the episodes.

And Hart's draw was even bigger when he was recently paired with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," which earned close to $1 billion worldwide.īut you can really tell how strong Hart's draw is when you look at this year's movie, "The Upside." The movie was a casualty of the Harvey Weinstein sexual misconduct allegations that crippled Weinstein's company (the movie was eventually released by STXfilms), and at the time of the movie's release, Hart was dealing with the blowback of homophobic tweets and jokes of his that had resurfaced when he was chosen to host the Oscars (he eventually stepped down).
Hart starred alongside Ice Cube in the "Ride Along" franchise, generating box-office receipts in the hundreds of millions. The theatrical releases of his specials "Kevin Hart: Laugh at My Pain" (2011), "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain" (2013), and "Kevin Hart: What Now?" (2016) combined to make over $63.5 million, with "Let Me Explain" having a $10 million opening on just 876 screens.Īnd Hart's box-office draw as an actor is even more astonishing. Hart emerged out of the stand-up scene in the late 1990s to become one of the biggest draws ever. Hard work has never been something Hart has shied away from. My impact is felt and I think that goes a long way because when people that do the work for you see that you put in the work too, it makes it feel like they are part of something special." "I don't do things to just throw my name on it, I don't believe in that. "You just don't want to be the guy who shows up and says the speech before a film gets screened," Hart told Business Insider of his philosophy on the growth of HartBeat.
And HartBeat is currently developing various film projects at numerous studios, including a first-look deal at Universal. The company also has three soundstages in the San Fernando Valley used for its digital arm, Laugh Out Loud Network. But since then, it has grown to a staff of almost 40 and now takes up the entire floor of its original office building. HartBeat Productions launched with Hart and a team of two in 2009, at a modest corner office space in a nondescript building in downtown Encino, California.
