Will Sony Pictures Be Around After 2020?

[NHawk19]

So Sony has had a declining market share since 2012, and to say their franchise ideas have been well received by fans at this point would be an overstatement.

Based on their current slate of films and propositions what do you think the chances are they will still be releasing films in 3 years?

 

[Rowsdower!]

This studio is being run by Tom Rothman and has plans for an expanded Spider-Man universe that doesn't involve Spider-Man.

I have my doubts about their viability.

The movies Sony expects to save them will be the cause of their destruction. Sony simply does not understand that no one wants a MARVEL movie from Sony anymore. So I hope Sony moves forward with the simple fact that these movies will be the end of Sony Pictures

Ironic in a way but thats Sony for you

 

[Mandon Knight]

Definitely not option.

Well the Billion Dollar write-down from last year will surely impact future endeavors.

But what impact will Homecoming have in the coming year. Based on the deadline article these films on the high end make 200 million at the end of the day. That means they'd need 5 of them just to cover what they lost last year.

Their moves throughout this decade have all been pretty much horrible, but I think it will take longer for them to completely ruin themselves.

 

[smallville fan]

Can we move this along faster?

 

[PeterBenParker]

I hope so. Competition is a good thing.

 

[psylockolussus]

I voted for the last option. They had their time. Now just focus on videogames, record labels and the tech department.

 

[Flint Marko]

Hopefully not.

 

[Drizzle]

I hope so. Competition is a good thing.

Not for Sony. Practically every other studio is kicking their ass.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I hope they do. I don't want everything to be Disney.

 

[DadaLaLaLa]

I hope so. Competition is a good thing.

People would rather watch a DCEU movie instead of Sony's Venom & that other **** Sony is not competition for anybody

 

[OutOfBoose]

It's not only about CBMs. Sony make other movies too.

 

[DadaLaLaLa]

It's not only about CBMs. Sony make other movies too.

& most of those suck as well it's Tom Rothmans gift to us all it is better for everyone that Sony Pictures crashes & burns

 

[DarthSkywalker]

There are other studios then Disney and WB. Studios die, others rise. It is the way of the business.

 

[Drizzle]

It's not only about CBMs. Sony make other movies too.

Yeah, like Ghostbusters '16 and Passengers. At least Baby Driver looks promising.

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

I hope so. Competition is a good thing.

So it really wouldn't change much one way or the other if Sony went away.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope they do. I don't want everything to be Disney.

Universal, Fox, WB, Lionsgate, Paramount, Open Road and the other smaller studiosare still around.

 

[brandeezy89]

'The major 6' as they're called have been around since the 10s and 20s. I don't see Sony going anywhere like it or not

 

[OutOfBoose]

Yeah, like Ghostbusters '16 and Passengers. At least Baby Driver looks promising.

I hope Blade Runner 2049 is great too.

 

[DadaLaLaLa]

'The major 6' as they're called have been around since the 10s and 20s. I don't see Sony going anywhere like it or not

Sony is gonna run out of money eventually so what happens at that point ?

 

[psylockolussus]

'The major 6' as they're called have been around since the 10s and 20s. I don't see Sony going anywhere like it or not

They are actually called as the big six. They used to the big eight with MGM, RKO and United Artists.

Anyway, a major film studio dying is nothing new.

 

[Drizzle]

I hope Blade Runner 2049 is great too.

I forgot Sony was distributing that.

 

[OutOfBoose]

I forgot Sony was distributing that.

They're only distributing? I thought they were co-financing it.
