“I’m delighted to announce Dylan’s promotion. Dylan has built our US theatrical presence in a short period of time and I’m continually impressed by his abilities, his creativity and his results,” Reckziegel said. “The global film business and windowing patterns have evolved and we recognize that it is more important than ever to take a holistic approach to marketing and distribution. This is most significant in the U.S. market where release patterns are constantly evolving.”
