Josh Goldstine to Oversee Film Marketing and Distribution for All of Skydance

Josh Goldstine has been appointed by Skydance to manage all marketing and distribution efforts for the studio's film divisions, which span Paramount and Warner Bros. This move returns Goldstine to a leadership role within the Warner Bros. film slate, following his ousting from the position in January 2025. His previous tenure, lasting four years, included the creation of a highly successful marketing campaign for the studio's highest-grossing film, "Barbie."

Goldstine's responsibilities will involve overseeing the release campaigns for Skydance's films, with the goal of fulfilling the company's commitment to release at least 30 films per year, a feat not attempted by any major studio in the current Hollywood climate. He will receive assistance from Warner Bros.' existing team, which consists of global distribution chief Jeff Goldstein, and marketing executives Dana Nussbaum, Christian Davin, and John Stanford. All these individuals will continue to work at Skydance and report directly to Goldstine.

Although Warner Bros. will proceed without Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, the marketing team from Warner Bros. possesses considerable familiarity with the numerous projects greenlit by De Luca and Abdy. These projects are scheduled for release in the 2027 slate, which includes the "Superman" sequel "Man of Tomorrow," the Legendary-produced "Godzilla x Kong: Supernova," the original J.J.

Abrams film "The Great Beyond," the Nancy Meyers ensemble romcom "Paris Paramount," and the original animated musical comedy "Bad Fairies." The promotion of Goldstine as Skydance's new marketing and distribution overseer was initially reported by Variety.
