It was the exit heard around Hollywood.

Amy Pascal will step down from her post as Co-Chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment in the wake of the fallout of the crippling, weeks-long Sony hacking crisis.

But Pascal is not totally cutting her Sony ties. In conjunction with the announcement of her exit was news that she will launch a production company that will be underwritten by Sony as part of a four-year deal. The venture will be based at the Sony Pictures lot in Culver City. Pascal will step into her new role in May.

Pascal’s departure was somewhat of a sure thing after the breakdown that basically shut down operations and made public thousands of emails and highly personal information of the studio’s employees. But even before the fiasco, Pascal’s track record after a string of box office misses — including “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” — had her future on watch.
