EXCLUSIVE: Nick Meyer has just informed his staff that he’s exiting as eOne’s President of Film when his contract ends next month.
The news comes as Hasbro is expected to settle on a buyer of its eOne studio division, those jockeying being Lionsgate and Legendary, and distributor GoDigital Media Group as Deadline first reported.
