Tennant will join Warner Bros. on March 9, and has responsibility for optimizing theatrical releases, driving theatrical sales strategy and growing opportunities for the upcoming Warner Bros. slate, which includes “Wonder Woman 1984,” Christopher Nolan’s “Tenet” and Roald Dahl’s “The Witches.”
He reports to Warner Bros. president of international distribution Andrew Cripps, who said: “Toby has an impressive track record of driving theatrical distribution sales across EMEA. He will play a key role in the region as we refine our operational efficiencies and distribution strategies to build on our market success.”
