Lionsgate Motion Picture Group president Nathan Kahane will step down by year's end, transitioning to producing. Erin Westerman, currently president of production and development, will succeed him, reporting to studio chair Adam Fogelson. Kahane's departure, coinciding with his contract expiration, follows a similar move by former Lionsgate executive Joe Drake. Kahane's producing credits include successful films like *Juno* and *Neighbors*. Lionsgate is focusing on franchises like *John Wick* and *The Hunger Games*.
