Read his note to the staff below.

Dear team previously known as uar,

This is bitter cute e -mail to write. After much consideration and thinking, I decided to leave Amazon MGM Studios at the end of March.

I am excited to explore new opportunities in this incredible time of change in the industry and I am convinced that this is the right time to do so.

For the past 6 years, they have given me the experience of life because of all of you. It was an honor to work together with some of the scariest, inspired and inventive people in business.

I am proud of everything we have built together and everything we have achieved as a small but powerful team. We have successfully launched the main commercial hits as there is no time to die, House of Gucci, the Adams family (1 and 2), Creed 3, challengers, boys in a ship, a beekeeper among so many others. I am also afraid of amazing love, worry and skill that you all have brought to post autheur movies such as pizza with sweet sweets, women who speak, DNA, American fiction and this year’s nickel boys. We have also celebrated so many nominations and victories with our filmmakers during the awards season, including the best picture nomination every year in the last 4 years!

One of your collective super forces is your true love for movies – from large tent columns to special titles – your dedication, expertise and infectious fandom – they are responsible for so many of our big victories.

On a personal note, so I appreciate humanity and the kindness you brought to our offices every day; I will be glad to miss it.

And my friends at Amazon MGM Studios, old and new, thank you for greeting me at the company after gaining MGM. I enjoyed our collaboration and I look forward to seeing how this amazing movie plate goes out into the world. I will always root for all of you.

Wishing you all the best,

Gerry
