Peter Kang has been upped to president of production of Columbia Pictures. The move comes after the impending departure of Josh Greenstein, who served as the co-president of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group who is said to be joining the now-Skydance-owned Paramount Pictures in an undefined role. Earlier this year it was announced that Tom Rothman signed a multi-year extension on his contract as the chairman-CEO of Sony Pictures' Motion Picture Group. Panitch joined Sony in 2015 and a year later was named the President of Columbia Pictures. In 2019, he was promoted to president of Sony Motion Picture Group. Prior to Sony, he held positions at 20th Century (née Fox) and founded Fox International Productions. Kang joined Sony in 2019 from Lionsgate, where he served as co-president of production. He is a veteran of Paramount and 20th Century, working on projects that include the Planet of the Apes franchise and Gone Girl. Sony's upcoming slate includes Darren Aronofsky's Caught Stealing and Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, with new installments in the world for the Spider-Man, Jumanji and 28 Years Later film series.
