Based in Los Angeles, Weaver will continue to report to AMG CEO Elliot Grainge and will oversee “high-impact opportunities” across the AMG roster, spanning soundtracks, strategic partnerships and gaming initiatives, sync licensing, and brand alignments across Atlantic Records, 300 Entertainment, and 10K Projects.
“Over the course of his tenure, Weaver has helped position Atlantic as the premier destination for blockbuster, award-winning soundtrack projects, driving defining pop culture moments including Barbie The Album, Twisters The Album, The Greatest Showman, Suicide Squad The Album, F7, and most recently F1 The Album,” said a statement.
