Fathom Entertainment CEO to step down

Ray Nutt plans to exit the specialty theatrical distributor later this year after nearly a decade. Having joined in 2017, Nutt will be actively supporting the search for his successor and ensuring a smooth leadership transition. Fathom has carved out a niche in the North American market for staging big-screen anniversary releases and event cinema, including several family-friendly re-releases like Coraline, the Harry Potter franchise, the Twilight Saga and, most recently, this month’s limited engagement of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II.
