You are correct they are having success, but just like other companies they might not be considered successful enough. For "industry reaction" is being based on what happened in 2013 where they took a beating with several movies that weren't successful enough like White House Down and After Earth, in the same vein that Man of Steel wasn't successful for Warner because it didn't meet the $1 billion dollar predictions.Fusioncode9 said:Sony PIctures is doing fine Bob, they just posted a large profit last quarter thanks to hits like Captain Phillips and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. They're not just relying on Spider-man, did you forget about James Bond? Their movie studio is one of Sony's healthier branches.

But even with what looks to be a lot of profit, they are still fighting with a shareholder and cutting $100 million in spending, so I really wonder with the numbers they are showing how much of it is really profit?
