May 9 (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.
