Chelsey Summey, the SVP of global communications for Warner Bros.' motion picture group, has left the company as Skydance prepares to overhaul the studio's communications team. Brooke Robertson, Paramount's EVP of global communications, will take over the reins for Warner Bros.' films. Warner Bros. is set to release its first film under Skydance, the DC Studios horror movie "Clayface," this weekend.
Summey joined Warner Bros. in early 2024 under Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, overseeing communications during the studio's successful 2025, which saw releases like "Sinners," "A Minecraft Movie," and "Weapons." Prior to Warner Bros., Summey worked as head of corporate communications for Amazon MGM's motion picture group and as SVP of corporate communications at 20th Century Fox, now 20th Century Studios.
She managed hits such as "Deadpool," "The Revenant," "Hidden Figures," and "The Greatest Showman" at Fox. Summey's departure coincides with Skydance's expected layoffs of thousands of employees following the $111 billion purchase of Warner Bros., which finalized earlier this month. Upcoming Warner Bros. films include "The Cat in the Hat," the first theatrical release from Warner Bros. Pictures Animation, and Legendary's "Dune: Part Three."
