As part of her exit, Salke signed a first-look film and TV producing deal with Amazon, Hopkins wrote.
"As I've been considering my next chapter, I've always been searching for that moment where I was positive that our work had set up Amazon MGM Studios for even more success in the long term," Salke said in a statement provided by Amazon. "When I look at the teams we've put in place, our amazing leaders, and the incredible slate of films and shows we've got in the pipeline, I realized now is that moment."
Amazon tapped Salke in 2018 to head up the Studios business after the ouster of her predecessor Roy Price, who resigned amid allegations that he engaged in sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior toward a producer.
