That is not how it works. A $650 million movie is not a big hit when it's budget (with marketing) is well over half of that total, especially with Sony no longer having merchandise rights. As for their investors not trying to get Sony to sell the franchise, it's worth noting that Sony has been selling a fair amount of their stuff lately. They've recently sold their PC business, as well as some stock that they held in Square Enix. Some time ago, they sold two of their buildings. They are in sell mode.
How many Sony franchises make over 650 m?
You don't dump a franchise when it grosses more than all of your other franchises (other than Bond).
