Lionsgate Employing Help On Distribution Side

EXCLUSIVE: The initial step to recovery is realizing you've got a problem. Well, Lionsgate continues to be failing regularlyand let’s hope this is actually the initial step on the path to a turnaround. I’ve just learned the studio is getting in former Disney professional Chris LeRoy being an in-house consultantwith the title of Interim Leader of Distribution.You may already know, he was among the last holdovers in the Dick Prepare administration at Wally Disney Galleries where he was EVP and General Sales Director for domestic distribution for nearly ten years. Let’s face the facts: 2011 is a disaster for Lionsgate which must prepare for 2012 when potential blockbusters such as the Hunger Games debut. But just like LeRoy is, he is able to’t make miracles when the product stinks.
