(Reuters) - Sony Pictures said on Friday it had entered into a multi-year contract extension with its motion picture group's chairman and CEO, Tom Rothman.

Rothman joined the studio in 2013 as chairman of TriStar Pictures, before being named chairman of the motion picture group in February 2015. His contract was extended in 2021, with the CEO role being added to his chairman title.

The studio, known for box office hits such as "Spider-Man: No Way Home", "Jumanji" and the "Ghostbusters" series, said in March that its big-screen story about The Beatles will be told through four films to be released in April 2028, each presenting the perspective of one member of the Fab Four.
