Overture Films Execs Learn Fate in Company-Wide Email

Overture Films CEO Chris McGurk and COO Danny Rosett suddenly left the company on July 2. It was unclear why at the time, but now it seems it might have had to do with a company-wide email accidentally sent by Starz President Chris Albrecht.

Here are the details. Albrecht was on vacation oversees, and he checked his BlackBerry to respond to pressing business. One of the emails discussed problems at Overture, while another discussed the possibility of allowing 400 Starz employees a chance to head home early.
