Imagine Entertainment CEO Rich Battista has left the company after just months on the job

In a surprise move, Imagine Entertainment Chief Executive Rich Battista has left the production company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer, the company confirmed to The Times on Thursday.

“Rich Battista has left Imagine Entertainment,” said Grazer and Howard in a brief statement. “We thank Rich for the time he spent working with us and the contributions he made, and we wish him the best going forward.” “It felt like we’d better get someone who could be in the middle of all that operationally, to optimize those divisions, to raise money if it’s needed and to be the team captain,” Grazer said. “That enables Ron and I to focus on what we do the best.”

Previously, he was CEO of Mandalay Sports media, after an 18 year-tenure at 21st Century Fox, where he held senior management roles, including becoming president of its national cable networks.
