EXCLUSIVE: Nick Meyer has just informed his staff that he’s exiting as eOne’s President of Film when his contract ends next month
Hasbro bought eOne in 2019 for $4 billion. The toymaker is looking to unload all scripted and unscripted TV production , all film production and related global distribution and a 6,500-plus title content library and Hasbro’s interest in eOne’s Canadian film and TV business.Boss Meyer has had quite a streak, with 17 Oscar wins from 62 nominations and 10 BAFTA wins from 51 nominations under that label.
It has been an epic run, starting with the founding of Sierra with Marc in 2009 through the subsequent mergers with eOne and Hasbro. Together, we have built a robust film development and production division at eOne by creating both award-winning and blockbuster content that reaches audiences worldwide.
The film business can be enervating, complex, frustrating, and sometimes even heartbreaking. But when you have a team like the one I have had the privilege of leading, any challenges we may face together provide an enriching experience. I am so proud of our record and the work we did together.
At eOne, we have brought movies to worldwide audiences that entertain and inspire, earning positive critical responses and accolades for films like BLUE BAYOU, MRS. HARRIS GOES TO PARIS, and the inspirational WOMAN KING. With next year’s FREAKY TALES, that tradition continues. On the Hasbro side, we brought DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES to global audiences this past March, which became the best-reviewed Hasbro film adaptation.
For now, I plan to dedicate my focus, support, and leadership to this team until I take my leave at the end of next month. Again, I am forever grateful for your hard work and entrepreneurial spirit, humbled by your talent, and honored to have been on this crazy and wonderful ride with you all. This is not farewell, but more of a “see you soon.” More to come, as I am sure our paths will continue to cross once this this amazing chapter comes to an end.
