Executive Suite

Doug Belgrad, 46, is presiding over what is likely to be Sony's most successful year at the worldwide box office in history, fueled by The Amazing Spider-Man (which has grossed $521 million and counting), Men in Black 3 and 21 Jump Street. And there are big commercial hopes for August's Total Recall. The drama-free executive is coming up on his second year as sole president of Columbia Pictures, a post he had shared with Matt Tolmach (the two were named to the top gig in 2008 after serving as co-presidents of production) until Tolmach left to become a producer.
