Warner Bros. executive Toby Emmerich gave a shout-out to the studio’s ousted Chairman and Chief Executive Kevin Tsujihara, saying he left his mark “indelibly” on the company.
Warner Bros.' former Chief Executive Kevin Tsujihara at the studio's headquarters in Burbank.
Emmerich, who is chairman of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, thanked his former boss, who led the Burbank studio for six years until his abrupt exit last month amid accusations that he helped an actress land roles after they had an extramarital affair.“There is someone who isn’t here in Vegas today but has left his mark indelibly on its history,” Emmerich said Tuesday during remarks at CinemaCon, the theater industry’s annual trade show in Las Vegas.
Speaking the CinemaCon crowd, Emmerich credited Tsujihara with leading the company to $5.6 billion in global box office in 2018, a record for the company propelled by films including “Crazy Rich Asians,” “Aquaman” and “A Star Is Born.”
