Marc Weinstock Exits as Paramount’s President of Worldwide Marketing

is exiting Pictures as the president of worldwide marketing and distribution.

Weinstock first joined Paramount in February 2019 from his previous post as president of Annapurna Pictures. During his time with the studio, he oversaw campaigns for releases that include Top Gun: Maverick, Sonic the Hedgehog and A Quiet Place.

Weinstock previously held senior marketing leadership roles at 20th Century Fox and Sony Pictures, working on campaigns for films including Logan, Hidden Figures and The Revenant.

It was reported last night in Puck that Josh Goldstine, the former Universal Pictures and Warner Bros marketing chief, is in talks to join the studio. Goldstine was behind the marketing campaign for Barbie and the Dune films. (Paramount has no comment.)

The news of Weinstock’s exit comes as David Ellison continues to overhaul the studio’s executive suite in the wake of his Paramount acquisition. Other notable exits have included Paramount Motion Picture group chief Michael Ireland and Chief Communications Officer Justin Dini, as well co-CEOs Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins.
