News about Hopkins’ departure from Sony and new role at Amazon was shared by Sony Pictures Entertainment Chairman and CEO Tony Vinciquerra in a memo to staff.
“I want to thank Mike for his outstanding leadership since arriving at the studio in late 2017. From day one he was charged with rethinking the way we run our television businesses,” the memo says.
