Goldstine was hired in 2021 by former Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group chairman Toby Emmerich, who was ousted himself in 2022 as David Zaslav took the reins of Warner Bros. Discovery. A veteran of Sony and Universal Pictures, Goldstine is known as a skilled marketer with a reputation for consistency and strong filmmaker and talent relationships. But his employment isn't without controversies. At Sony in 2001, he was suspended without pay for 30 days for falsifying film critic quotes to promote four of the studio's movies. Goldstine was wrongfully terminated from Universal in March 2018 for alleged misconduct; an arbitration judge in 2020 ruled in his favor and awarded him a reported $20 million in damages.
