In the 1990’s Marcus started a career in domestic theatrical distribution with the Samuel Goldwyn Company. After a very short period at Goldwyn, he joined the sales team at Universal Pictures where until 1998, sales of first run and legacy studio titles were the focus of Marcus’s function at the studio. In 1998 Marcus moved to the studios of Twentieth Century-Fox, where he oversaw the fulfillment of the 35mm theatrical print inventory as well as managed the lion-share of Bel Air circuit needs and various academy and guild print needs.

Over multiple decades at the studios Marcus was associated with the release of over 430 features with a combined domestic box office gross of over $20.8 Billion.
