Skydance puts Goldberg and Greenstein in charge of Paramount and Warner Bros. films

Skydance Corp has put Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein in charge of its Motion Picture Group as co-chairs, with a pledge that Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures will keep developing and releasing films separately under their own names, according to Variety.

Each film will keep its own logo. The promise covers the slate, the studio term for its roster of upcoming releases.

Goldberg and Greenstein already ran Paramount Pictures together. Both joined Paramount in 2025, with Goldberg arriving from Skydance Media, according to Los Angeles Magazine. They made their first public appearance as Paramount chiefs at CinemaCon in April, as reported by Variety.

Their new brief is wider. They will oversee vision, long-term strategy, operations and production for the combined film organisation, Skydance said.

The appointment confirms a change at Warner Bros. Pamela Abdy and Michael De Luca, who led the Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group, will not join the new combined company, according to Variety.

Other banners stay in place. DC Studios, New Line Cinema and Paramount Primal will continue as distinct labels, smaller production banners inside the larger group with their own mandates.

Animation and specialist units will also operate independently. That group includes Republic Pictures and Warner Bros. Clockwork.

Release planning sits with the two co-chairs. Skydance chairman and chief executive David Ellison and co-chief executive Ynon Kreiz said Goldberg and Greenstein will be responsible for choreographing releases, industry shorthand for setting dates so a company's own films do not open against each other, according to Variety.

Marketing leadership is also taking shape. Josh Goldstine will oversee marketing at Warner Bros., as reported by Variety.

Ellison and Kreiz said job cuts will form part of bringing Paramount and Warner Bros. together, according to Variety. No numbers were given.

For cinemagoers, this means the name above the opening credits does not change. A Warner Bros. film stays a Warner Bros. film, and a Paramount film stays a Paramount film, even with the same two people supervising both.
