EXCLUSIVE: Robert Katz is about to begin discussions to exit as president of Dimension Films, a job that is proving tough to fill for the long term. Katz, a well regarded exec who had been Film Department’s president of production and before that exec veep at Yari Film Group, took the job in late July following Brad Luff’s exit after less than a year. I’m told that the exit is fairly amicable and that it came down to a difference in vision between Katz and his boss, Dimension head Bob Weinstein, who has always been a challenging guy to work for. I’m not sure that Katz really had an opportunity to get on track in such a short time, but clearly the chemistry wasn’t right. Dimension last released Apollo 18, the $5 million budget “found footage” genre thriller that grossed $17.6 million domestic.

Bob Weinstein has successfully created the worst team in the league.
BobBobBob.. listen. Calm down. Take a deep breath. And start from the beginning. What exactly do you want?
Wow. Clearly BW is more out of control than ever. These are really effective people he keeps firing. How long can this go on?
I don’t know Robert Katz personally, and he could be great at his job, but he’s been the head of The Film Department (which went bankrupt and shut down), and EVP at Yari Film Group (which lost its staff and pretty much shut down), and now Dimension…which hasn’t had a successful movie in a while.
Maybe Katz just has shitty taste in material and can’t get a movie together at a budget that works…just sayin…
You must be kidding?! Harvey – maybe you should take your little brother to the doc so they can switch his meds. Something is very wrong here.
Bob is a nightmare. Take a good look at that crazy picture in the right hand corner of your screen. That is what evil looks like.
Bob Katz got exactly what he deserved by even taking the job in the first place. Like no one knows the Weinsteins are a nightmare?
…and are no longer power players,if anything,has-beens. NEXT!
speechless
Robert Katz easily one of the worst execs I’ve ever met, absolutely no creative instincts, grinds things in overbearing fashion on production despite hackneyed knowledge, and a main reason Film Department went out of bizness after most of the films there deemed unreleasable. I’d go as far as saying this news shows Bob Weinstein’s shown he’s still got his smarts, since only a fool would suffer more than a few months with Katz at the helm.
AMEN.
Honestly, I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did.
Tonight Bob is going to go home, put on his big fuzzy bunny slippers, warm himself up a warm cup of milk and pull out his list of execs to call later this week…who’s next? It’s like a bad horror movie
Ahem… it’s like a Dimension film.
Finally Bob is getting the credit he deserves. Harvey is the “nice” brother. I’ve been saying it for years.
you don’t like it? start your own fuckin’ company with your own fuckin’ brother.
If you are approached by a tiny little man with an annoying voice, it’s David Glasser looking for Bob Weinstein’s next victim. RUN! KEEP RUNNING!
Bob? Is that you? Take your medicine
Bob is a fucking psychotic alcoholic. Harvey is an unrequited asshole. Together they make beautiful music. They require the services of whipping boys to relieve their filthy egos of any bad decisions of wrongdoings. This was Katz, and not the musical. They are scum. Specifically Bob, who with his proud profession of “hiring skinheads” to being the most hated drone in the indie (but we have money, right Hawv? Ryte?) business, is inept at making movies, just recycling shit for the 90′s. Wake up d-bags. It’s the new generation and you’re as worthless as Miramax is to anyone. Quentin is like a loyal slob. He’ll let you distribute his movies, albeit a very modified contract (in his favor) but even he knows you d-bags don’t have the moxie to make it anymore. Kings speech was a purchase, not a production. Stick to those, dirty d-bags.
4 months. hmmmm I was giving it 6. I was pretty close though.
A show of hands please? How many of us have sat across from Big Bad Bob, at his table at the Peninsula, eating from someone’s recently abandoned fruit plate?
