Dylan Jadeja, will become our next CEO later this year.”Laurent has spent 14 years in leadership roles at Riot, including six as CEO, and while the transition is occurring, will continue to work at the company in the meantime in an advisory role for “years to come.”“It’s really the personal trade-offs that have been hard and the sacrifices my wife and kids have made for my career, including all our expatriations,” said Laurent in the letter. “We’ve always been ok with this as a family, as long as we rebalance at some point.
Now is that time. Especially since we miss France so much, and want to move back.”“While this chapter is coming to a close, I don’t view this as an end — I don’t plan on joining another company or starting a new company,” he continued.
“I love Riot, and I genuinely believe this is the best place in the world to make games… now more than ever.”Jadeja first joined Riot in 2011 as chief financial officer and added chief operating officer to his role in 2014. He was then named president of Riot in 2017 when the founders transitioned to co-chair roles.Jadeja also shared a statement in the letter explaining the transition and what he hopes to achieve as the new CEO.“As CEO, it is fair to assume that I may do some things differently than those before me, but I want to assure you that the goal for us — together — will not waver,” Jadeja said.

Factoring in the international box office bow of $68.3M, that makes for an estimated $163.8M global debut through Sunday. The offshore launch is lower than hoped for coming into the frame. But it bears noting there was something fishy going on in overseas markets with so-called review-bombing in such areas as France, Korea, Germany and beyond.

Brent Lang Executive Editor Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired worldwide rights to “The Becomers,” a genre-bending comedy from Zach Clark. The company will launch the film at the Marche Du Film in Cannes this week. “The Becomer” tells the story of a body-snatching alien who comes to Earth, reconnects with their partner, and tries to find their way in modern America. “During the pandemic, I binged the original ‘Star Trek’ series for the first time and then I made this movie” Clark said on his latest film. “It felt like life as we knew it was ending, but then again, it also felt like that might not be the worst thing either. ‘The Becomers’ is a story of love, longing, and alienation. A kitsch-soaked, pathos-laden melodrama about our sad, sad planet. It’s the weirdest thing I’ve ever made and I can’t think of anyone better than Yellow Veil to get it out into the universe.”
