Peter Kang promoted at Sony as Josh Greenstein considers exit

Sony prepares for a shift in leadership as Peter Kang is set to become President of Production.

Sony Promotes Peter Kang Amid Leadership Changes

Peter Kang is expected to be promoted to President of Production at Sony's Columbia Pictures, following Josh Greenstein's negotiations to join Paramount Skydance as a C-suite executive. Kang has been with Sony since 2019, after a career at Lionsgate and Paramount, where he contributed to major successes such as Top Gun: Maverick. His new role places him under Sanford Panitch, co-President of Sony Motion Picture Group. Upcoming Sony films include projects from established directors and franchises, such as Jumanji 3 and a sequel to 28 Years Later.

This leadership change reflects a broader trend in Hollywood where studios continually adapt to maintain competitive edges. Kang’s promotion comes at a time when the industry is witnessing a reshuffling of talent. As studios pivot in a changing market, Kang's experience with franchises could play a crucial role in shaping Sony's future successes. The fate of Greenstein, if he moves to Paramount, will also be closely watched, as it may signal further shifts in industry dynamics that affect decision-making at major studios.

The outcome of these negotiations may reshape the competitive landscape among film studios.
