2023 has been a year of revivals for Lionsgate. As the studio’s “John Wick” series hit new box office highs with its fourth installment, success was also found with franchises that seemed to have run their course in theaters: “The Hunger Games” and “Saw.”

Of course, releasing those films during an actors strike didn’t make it easy.

Several of the executives at Lionsgate discussed how they helped build and maintain these franchises at TheWrap’s Power Women Summit, including EVP & Head of Global Products & Experiences Jenefer Brown, Film Group International President Helen Lee-Kim, Theatrical Marketing Co-President Keri Moore and SVP of Scripted TV Development Jocelyn Sabo.
