>Sony Corp today reported a surge in first-quarter operating income with a 180.5% jump to 157.6B yen, or $1.43B, for the period ending June 30, 2017. Net income rose to 80.9B yen or $734M (all conversions are at today’s rates) for a 282.1% increase. The sharp hikes were largely down to a return to stability in the image sensors business after a devastating 2016 earthquake. Sony Pictures Entertainment narrowed its losses to 9.5B yen ($86.2M).

First Quarter is when most movie companies lose money, they dump the bad films that they have to release and start huge ad spends for the summer season, which only shows revenue in the 2nd and 3rd quarter. 4th Quarter is more award and holiday fare, but is also profitable due to the lower costs in promotion.
Doesn't matter now. Emoji movie will put back them back in the green.
>not even over 10 billion
you know its not 1965 anymore, millions are a small amount
>Make Dogshit like Fem Ghostbusters & the Emoji movie
>Lose money
Good. Sony is the most cancerous studio out there right now. If anything this will at least show them that no one wants what they're selling, and they'll have to adapt to that.

Resurrect it after its death. It is too far gone now.
Disney could have screwed Sony over by allowing the company to run Spider-Man into the ground. With nothing else to profit from, Sony goes bankrupt and the rights to Spider-Man revert back to Marvel for free.
>but the games are still making money
So? You think the Japs like seeing their hard-won profits pissed down the drain by incompetent Americans?
>>85772813
They have a console that literally prints money but instead of consolidating all their efforts into it they use money it makes to produce shit films.
I swear to god if they just merged so many of their subsidiaries with the PlayStation brand they'd be like the Japanese version of Apple, instead they're just stuck in the 80s
