Warner Bros president Jeff Robinov has quit following a difficult year for the company.
The studio executive has stepped down ahead of the expiration of his contract in December, according to Deadline.
Robinov has been increasingly frozen out by Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes and Warner Bros chairman Kevin Tsujihara, who have not offered to renew his contract.
Despite the success of Man of Steel, The Great Gatsby and The Hangover Part III, the studio has been hit by the flops of Gangster Squad, Jack the Giant Slayer and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone in the first half of 2013.
Robinov has been spearheading Warner Bros’ successful superhero franchise after bringing Christopher Nolan on board at the studio. It is unknown how his departure might affect future DC Comics adaptations.
The executive is not expected to be replaced, with his role instead being split apart under different titles as part of restructuring at Warner Bros.
