Miramax has also acquired specific film, television and other projects from Glickman’s Panoramic Media, an independent film and TV production company he founded in 2020.
Miramax, a joint venture between beIN Media Group and Paramount Global, has appointed executive producer and former MGM President of Motion Picture Group Jonathan Glickman as its new CEO, effective immediately.
Alongside this announcement, Miramax has acquired certain film, television, and other projects from Panoramic Media, the independent production company founded by Glickman in 2020.
During his tenure at Panoramic Media, Glickman produced notable films such as Creed 3 and The Underdoggs, while also serving as an executive producer for Netflix’s Emmy-nominated hit, Wednesday. Currently, he is executive producing the Netflix limited series Zero Day, featuring stars like Robert De Niro and Angela Bassett.
In a statement, Glickman said: “With its world-renowned library and the united desire from its shareholders to produce IP-based as well as original projects, Miramax is uniquely placed to be the leading independent film and television studio for the years to come. I cannot wait to join Miramax’s dedicated team, alongside my partners at beIN and Paramount Global, and continue this company’s tradition of creating unforgettable stories for film, TV and beyond.”
Glickman’s extensive industry experience includes producing over 40 films, ranging from commercial hits like the Rush Hour franchise to critically acclaimed works like While You Were Sleeping. As the President of MGM’s Motion Picture Group for over eight years, Glickman oversaw blockbuster successes including the highest-grossing James Bond films and revitalised the Rocky franchise with Creed and Creed 2.
BeIN Media Group chairman Nasser Al-Khelaïfi added: “Jonathan’s leadership will see Miramax broaden our already-extensive IP base and build upon our commitment to compelling original content. We will also focus on expanding Miramax’s footprint across the globe, with local story-telling and production outside of Hollywood, across movies and series. Together with our partners at Paramount, we welcome Jonathan to the team and look forward to continued creativity, innovation and growth.”
Paramount Pictures president and CEO Brian Robbins stated: “I’ve known and worked with Jonathan for over two decades and I couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome him in this new role. With his combination of creative and commercial instincts, he will undoubtedly build on Miramax’s recent successes and deliver a new generation of iconic hit films and series. Under his leadership, Miramax is poised to build on its incredible legacy of top-tier library properties, films, and television projects. Along with our partners at beIN, we are confident in Jonathan’s ability to lead Miramax into the future.”
