It’s official: Sony Motion Picture Group co-president Josh Greenstein will depart the studio for a top job under David Ellison once the $8 billion Paramount Global–Skydance merger closes, sources confirm.

The Hollywood Reporter was the first to report this spring that Greenstein would be part of the management team installed by Ellison at the newly configured conglomerate. It’s not clear exactly what his job will be, or whether it will be confined to only Paramount Pictures.

The FCC approved the deal on July 24, but it isn’t expected to officially close until August 7. It’s not clear whether Ellison will wait until then to officially announce his roster of executives beyond what’s already known.

Skydance declined to comment regarding Greenstein.

Greenstein has a longstanding relationship with Skydance chief David Ellison and chief creative officer Dana Goldberg.

At Sony, Greenstein shares the co-president title with Sanford Panitch. He previously worked at Paramount Pictures, heading up marketing and distribution. He likewise first focused on marketing and distribution when joining Sony, but then moved up the ranks to co-head the motion picture group.
