When he started there he asked for $5 million to make movies.
He used it to make eight.
"The important thing was not to put Avco at risk for any major amount of money," he said.
"We'd finance a movie and find a financial group to buy us out, so we could use the money over again."Under his stewardship the company went from earning $20 million in 1978 to $90 million in 1981.In June 1981 he joined Univeral, becoming president the following year.
He quit in December 1983.In 1983, he became co-chairman and chief executive officer of New World Entertainment, Inc until 1989, when he and producer Mace Neufeld co-founded the motion picture production company Neufeld/Rehme Productions.
It was during this time that he created the pictures for which he is most known, such as Patriot Games and Flight of the Intruder.Rehme served as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences twice, between 1992–1993 and 1997–2001.
