Breitbart: Nolte: Woke Amazon/MGM Studio Chief Jen Salke Steps Down
Jen Salke has resigned as chief of Amazon/MGM Studios after a controversial tenure marked by significant missteps, including the poorly received "Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power" and a failed $60 million deal with Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Her management of the James Bond franchise faced criticism, particularly from key figures Barbara Broccoli and Michael Wilson, leading to a stalled production.
Salke's departure reflects broader issues in Hollywood, where perceived misalignment with established franchises has resulted in box office failures. Amazon's decision to part ways with her may signal a shift in strategy as the company aims to revitalize its entertainment offerings.
