Warner Bros. Shakeup Continues As Toby Emmerich Is Promoted To Group Chairman; Sue Kroll Steps Down
Though this will have far less of an impact on WB's DC division than the last announcement will, reports have come in that the studio has promoted Toby Emmerich to chairman of the motion picture group...
We recently found out that some big changes were going to be implemented at Warner Bros. in the aftermath of Justice League's disappointing box office run, and that continues with today's announcement that Toby Emmerich will now effectively run the studio.
Following the recent news that The Conjuring and IT executive producer Walter Hamada will now be in charge of spearheading WB's upcoming slate of DC projects, The Wrap reports that Emmerich has been promoted to chairman of the motion picture group, and will oversee Worldwide Theatrical Production, Marketing, and Distribution.
Meanwhile, former marketing exec Sue Kroll will move to a production position.
We're not sure what kind of impact (if any) this will have on The DC Films Universe - though it is worth noting that Kroll was responsible for the marketing campaign on Justice League.
What do you guys make of this latest development? Sound off in the usual place.
