Under Feltheimer's leadership, Lionsgate transformed from a niche independent studio into a global entertainment powerhouse.

Other milestones include the 2016 acquisition of Starz, expanding into premium television and streaming, and the development of enduring IP such as "John Wick," "Saw," and "Power." His strategic vision has driven consistent profitability, with Lionsgate Studios now boasting a robust library of over 18,000 titles and thriving in film, television, and digital content creation. Today, as CEO of Lionsgate Studios Corp., Feltheimer continues to guide the company's focus on studio operations, including motion picture production, television programming, and consumer products. His tenure has emphasized innovative partnerships, such as recent deals with Hasbro for "Monopoly" adaptations and expansions into gaming and live events, solidifying Lionsgate's position as a leader in diversified entertainment amid industry shifts toward streaming and IP-driven content.
