Harvey Weinstein Reacts to Exec's Move to Annapurna: "We Don't See Them as Rivals&quo

>After a five-year stint with TWC, distribution president Erik Lomis exited the cost-cutting studio March 10 to join free-spending Megan Ellison's Annapurna. Lomis' hire signals that Ellison, 30, is moving directly into TWC's space as a distributor and presumably will compete for the same Oscar-friendly projects on which Harvey Weinstein has built his business.
>Adding to the blow is the fact that Weinstein, 63, is a known adversary of Ellison. The two famously feuded over Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, which Annapurna backed and Weinstein distributed, and TWC came out on the losing end to Annapurna to finance Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty.
>As for Ellison moving Annapurna into distribution, Weinstein says he isn't worried. "The industry tries to make this into something adversarial between us and Annapurna when it simply isn't," he adds. "Annapurna makes the films they produce, and we make the films we produce. We don't see them as rivals. There's room for everyone in the industry. Erik will always be part of the TWC family, and we wish him the best."
