Emmerich

Emmerich built a strong track record as head of the film group at Warner Bros., which undoubtedly helped him survive a messy 2020 studio reorganization that pushed other longtime execs out the door and consolidated his power, giving him oversight of all the studio’s feature output, both theatrical and streaming. But that didn’t soften the reception he received in December 2020, when he called agency chiefs to inform them the studio would be releasing its films simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max. In 2022, Emmerich ultimately exited what became Warner Bros. Discovery, the new entity formed from AT&T spinning off WarnerMedia and merging it with Discovery, and was replaced by former MGM film chief Michael De Luca alongside Pamela Abdy.
