Variety’s Dealmakers of 2023: Hollywood’s Dealmakers Kept Industry on Course in a Turbulent Year

12.14.23

Variety includes Andrew Hurwitz on their list of dealmakers for 2023, Hollywood’s top negotiators.

Andrew has made a career of tailoring executive negotiations to meet each client’s specific needs and talents. This includes one of the biggest of the year: representing writer-director James Gunn in his deal to serve as co-CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery’s DC Studios, where he’ll also write, direct and produce film and TV projects for the studio.

Fast forward: It used to take a decade to witness the type of technological or economic changes we now sometimes see in a year or two, says Hurwitz. “That’s challenging for dealmakers because you always want to be able to tell the client that, given the context of a particular negotiation, this is the best deal that you can get, and we recommend this to you.”
