eOne said on Friday Gordon would shift from his role as president & chief content officer and focus on developing and producing content for the group.
Media reports in June said Gordon was in talks to leave over creative differences with senior managers of the company, which the company denied.
eOne president of film and television Steve Bertram will continue to lead the film and television business and oversees day-to-day management of the division, working closely with Peter Micelli, chief strategy officer, film and television and Nick Meyer, president, film, the company said in a statement.
“In today’s rapidly expanding market, content has become the greatest differentiator and Mark Gordon is one of the best content producers in the business,” said eOne chief executive Darren Throop.
“Our shift towards content production has continued to bear fruit and position eOne for ongoing success across film and television. We believe our position in the market will be even stronger with Mark solely focused on creating content for eOne and look forward to working together for years to come.”
