It was also one of the first in the business to recruit a professional manager as a chief executive officer (CEO) in 2002, to put in place processes, systems, performance metrics and procedures aligned to its strategic priorities. The company’s aim was to make two to four movies a year — enough to create a rolling stock that could open up multiple revenue streams and offset losses with hits. However, by early 2012, the company was battling against temporary setbacks, such as failing to deliver hit movies.
