If Lionsgate Films' market share continued to grow, several studio heads among the Big Six could even face the danger of being fired.
Consequently, at the invitation of the Hollywood Reporter, in mid-November, Jim Gianopulos, chairman of Fox, Donna Langley, chairman of Universal, Alan Horn, chairman of Disney, Rob Moore, vice chairman of Paramount, Tom Bernard, co-president of Sony Classics, and Toby Emmerich, president of Warner Bros. Pictures, convened a panel discussion at the Hollywood Reporter headquarters to summarize the current state of Hollywood's industry in 2012 and to analyze the film market for the coming year.
However, once the news leaked, media generally considered it a meeting against Lionsgate Films, whose strong rise had affected the market share of the Big Six and taken a slice of the pie originally belonging to them, suggesting that the Big Six were preparing to unite against Lionsgate.
