THB #67: Where Should Jason Kilar Land?

I was working on my final New Year’s Resolutions piece and I realized that while we know very little about exactly what Zaz (as all of us who went to pre-school with him call him) is going to do at Warners, it occurred to me that the thinkpiece hot spot of March is going to be, “Where is Kilar going?” So let’s get at it.

Before I do that, it seems to me that it might seem sexist to write a Kilar piece and not an Ann Sarnoff piece. But I will include her in the overall resolutions piece. She will land somewhere she likes. Or maybe just join the investor class in her 60s, becoming a board member to a few of the top companies on the planet. Many will want her. But is she going to find another job in “Hollywood” at the level she was at? No. She was a reach for this gig when she got it and she hasn’t proven herself to be the answer to any of the questions she was hired to answer.
