Skydance Motion Picture Group

Major Hollywood film division overseeing theatrical production and distribution across Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures under the Skydance umbrella

Skydance Motion Picture Group is the film division of Skydance, the media and entertainment company led by David Ellison. The division was established as part of Skydance's broader leadership restructuring following the anticipated close of its Warner Bros. Discovery acquisition, with Dana Goldberg and Josh Greenstein announced as co-chairs in October 2026. The group oversees Skydance's motion picture interests spanning both Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. Pictures, with each studio operating independently under the broader Skydance umbrella. The division sits at the intersection of major Hollywood studio operations, responsible for the development, production, and theatrical release of feature films across two of the industry's most storied studio brands. Skydance Motion Picture Group represents a significant consolidation of film leadership under a unified strategic vision, while allowing the individual studios to maintain their distinct creative and operational identities. As a major film production and distribution entity, Skydance Motion Picture Group is a significant player in the media and entertainment landscape, with its theatrical releases representing major marketing and advertising investments. Studio tentpole films produced under its oversight command some of the largest media buying and promotional campaigns in the industry, making the group a substantial participant in the broader advertising and media ecosystem as a major advertiser and content producer.
