Tom
Rothman

Chairman & CEO, Motion Picture Group

Rothman embraces Quentin Tarantino calling him a “butts-in-the-seats guy.” Without an in-house streamer to feed, the Sony Motion Picture Group chief has been able to focus on theatrical releases, scoring hits in 2022 with the PlayStation video game adaptation “Uncharted,” with Tom Holland; the action-comedy “Bullet Train,” starring Brad Pitt; and the backwoods murder mystery “Where the Crawdads Sing” — which grossed $400 million, $240 million and $140 million worldwide, respectively. His biggest hit remains 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which in 2022 became the third-highest-grossing film of all time domestically ($814 million) and sixth-highest-grossing film worldwide ($1.9 billion). Ahead for Rothman are Marvel films “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse,” “Kraven the Hunter” and “Madame Web.”
