Imax Taps Jonathan Fischer, Former Netflix and Illumination Executive, as Chief Content Officer
Imax has hired Jonathan Fischer, a former executive at Netflix and Illumination, to serve as its chief content officer.
The company, which has become the preferred format for moviegoers hoping to catch blockbuster movies like “Dune: Part Two” and “Oppenheimer,” said that Fischer will oversee its content strategy across Hollywood and international films. “Imax is opening its aperture to offer a greater, more diverse content portfolio to audiences worldwide — including more than 100 different awe-inspiring experiences across Hollywood and international films, documentaries, music, sports, and gaming in 2024 alone,” Gelfond said in a statement. Most recently, Fischer served as vice president of content strategy and analysis, global films for Netflix, where he developed the group’s greenlight process and collaborated on talent negotiations and dealmaking.
