It’s been reported by The Hollywood Reporter that Nathan Kahane, president of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, intends to resign by the close of this year.
As a gamer, I’m stepping into a new role, taking over studio production, thanks to the move that has freed up Erin Westerman, who was previously president of production and development. This change falls under the guidance of our studio chair, Adam Fogelson.
Lionsgate had no comment.
At the close of this year, Kahane’s contract is set to terminate. However, he plans to move into the role of production, working on several Lionsgate film projects after his tenure ends.
Or simply:
Kahane’s contract will end by the year-end, and afterward, he intends to shift to producing roles within various Lionsgate movie projects.
Since May 2018, Kahane has held the position of President of the Motion Picture Group, a role he assumed after Lionsgate purchased Good Universe, the production company co-founded by him and Joe Drake. In early 2024, Drake chose to step down, setting the stage for Fogelson’s arrival, which in some ways hinted at Kahane’s future departure. For many years, Drake and Kahane have been like a dynamic duo, not only managing Good Universe jointly but also Mandate Pictures. Lionsgate had acquired Mandate back in 2007.
Kahane was primarily a film producer rather than an executive. Through Mandate, he created the critically acclaimed comedy-drama Juno, the hit comedy Harold & Kumar go to White Castle, and the horror movie 30 Days of Night. His knack for blending humor with horror continued when he teamed up with Drake to establish Good Universe, producing films such as the successful comedy Neighbors starring Seth Rogen and the suspenseful horror film Don’t Breathe, directed by Fede Alvarez.
Over the past few years, Lionsgate has been actively working on producing more films from the John Wick action series and attempting to revive and capitalize on The Hunger Games series. However, the studio has faced difficulties finding success in the cinema landscape during and after the pandemic.
More to come.
