After almost a decade into Glickman’s tenure, MGM has scored with the Creed franchise, and the near century-old studio had modest hits in 2019 with “The Hustle,” “Fighting With My Family,” and reboots of “Child’s Play” and “The Addams Family.” After relaunching Orion Pictures, Glickman also oversaw the establishment of United Artists Releasing, a distribution joint venture with Annapurna.

Next up at MGM: “No Time to Die,” the highly anticipated James Bond sequel; “Respect,” an Aretha Franklin biopic starring Jennifer Hudson; and “Candyman,” a remake of the cult horror film with Jordan Peele writing and producing.
