3 Ball Entertainment was originally founded in 2001 as 3 Ball Productions, which was acquired in 2006 by Eyeworks, one of the world's largest independent production groups comprised of 16 companies across continental Europe, Scandinavia, South America, New Zealand, Australia, and the US, where the company was known as Eyeworks USA. The rebranding of Eyeworks USA to 3 Ball Entertainment – officially launched in January 2015 – followed Warner Bros.' 2014 acquisition of the Eyeworks group of 15 international production companies, excluding the US.
