Josh Goldstine may oversee film marketing and distribution across Paramount Skydance's labels.
Why it matters: The reported structure would combine marketing and distribution for Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and Skydance film labels. Paramount Skydance has not confirmed Goldstine's title, authority or reporting line.
- Variety reported that Goldstine is expected to oversee theatrical marketing and distribution.
- The October 6, 2026 transaction created Paramount Skydance's combined motion-picture portfolio.
- Dana Nussbaum, Christian Davin and Jeff Goldstein are reportedly expected to report to Goldstine under a proposed structure.
- Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein remain co-chairmen over the motion-picture portfolio.
Variety reported, citing people familiar with the matter, that Josh Goldstine is expected to oversee theatrical marketing and distribution across Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures and Skydance film labels.
The report said Goldstine met with Warner Bros. marketing executives Dana Nussbaum and Christian Davin, along with global theatrical distribution chief Jeff Goldstein, on October 6. It described a proposed structure under which the three executives would report to Goldstine. The reporting arrangement has not been presented as approved.
Goldstine joined Paramount Pictures as president of global marketing and distribution in October 2025, according to a ScreenDaily report. He previously spent four years as Warner Bros.' president of worldwide marketing.
Paramount Skydance said its October 6, 2026 transaction completed its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, creating the combined motion-picture portfolio discussed in the report.
The official post-closing leadership announcement names Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein as co-chairmen over the combined motion-picture portfolio, with responsibility for marketing and distribution among other functions. It does not name Goldstine or establish whether he would report to the co-chairmen, operate alongside them or exercise authority delegated by them.
By the numbers
- October 6, 2026 - date of the transaction and the reported executive meeting
- 3 executives - Nussbaum, Davin and Goldstein are reportedly expected to report to Goldstine
- 4 years - Goldstine's previous tenure as Warner Bros.' president of worldwide marketing
Yes, but: The proposed reporting structure is unconfirmed, and Paramount Skydance's official leadership announcement does not name Goldstine or define his authority.
