Re: Movie/TV News
I imagine those movies made money in other countries though, enough I expect would have pushed them into the black.
No doubt Sony expected more though.

Re: Movie/TV News
Most of the money that Hollywood movies make comes from foreign markets. The fact that every single one of those movies you quoted nearly earned backit's budget in America alone is proof enough that these movies were profitable, but if that's enough here are the real numbers.
The 5th Wave
Domestic: $33.6 million
Foreign: $70.3 million
Total: $103.9 million
Budget: $38 million
Profit: $65.9 million
Spectre
Domestic: $199.9 million
Foreign: $679.6 million
Total: $879.5 million
Budget: $245 million
Profit: $634.5 million
The Walk
Domestic: $10.1 million
Foreign: $50.4 million
Total: $60.5 million
Budget: $35 million
Profit: $25.5 million
Pixels
Domestic: $78.6 million
Foreign: $164.7 million
Total: $244.1 million
Budget: $38 million

The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Domestic: $202.8 million
Foreign: $505.8 million
Total: $708.6 million

The Amazing Spider-Man
Domestic: $262 million
Foreign: $495.9 million
Total: $757.9 million

I'm sure Sony's wallet is really hurting after those "bombs". Try arguing with those facts.

in case you were stuck on global here's some more facts for you 2015, operating at a loss:

or 2013, operating at a loss, bombs away:
http://nypost.com/2013/10/31/movie-bomb ... -for-sony/
CEO speaks on the 2014 fiscal year ending in a loss:
TOKYO — Sony Corp. president-CEO Kazuo Hirai announced at a strategy briefing Thursday that the troubled electronics giant intends to triple its operating profit to 400 billion yen ($3.95 billion) by the 2015 fiscal year ending in March 2016, while also unveiling a $300 million cut in the company’s beleaguered film division.
In November, the Michael Lynton-led Sony Pictures Entertainment said it was targeting $250 million reduction on the film side .
“We are continuously evolving the business to make Sony Pictures Entertainment more efficient and competitive,” a Sony spokesman said on Wednesday.
that's three years of BOMBS and CUTS. in this day in age where movies are breaking box office records with every release, Fox, Universal and Disney, Sony can't seem to stop stepping on their dicks. bottom line is when Americans are turning out in record numbers to go to the movies and you're discounting their North American flops, I can't continue this conversation lol.
here's another:
http://fortune.com/2015/08/14/studio-bo ... sony-2015/
sorry that last one is just Forbes on the North American box office stats, which is where movies are made, marketed and sold to the world.
you want t get into Metacritic, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes reviews of the actual garbage they are putting out? or those don't count because they're "opinions"?

Re: Movie/TV News
I think we all agree Sony have released some shitty movies, whether or not they should be considered bombs is the argument here.
To me a bomb is a movie that has neither critical nor financial success. Many of the Sony films have little critical success, but it's hard to argue against financial success.

Re: Movie/TV News
when you're a financial analyst and have been for over a decade let me know. plus I'm a big movie fan, sometimes you have to know when to admit you're wrong. I watch Sony's numbers every day, it's my job. the Film wing is atrocious and they need to clean house, it didn't start with that whole email hacking scandal (which I didn't even bring up before), it was problem before that. oh and by the way that was a HUGE black eye on the company. tell your boy to walk away, this argument is over.hellboy wrote:I think we all agree Sony have released some shitty figures, I just whether or not they should be considered bombs is the argument here.

I don't think we're arguing about the same thing. My arguments have nothing to do with market share, and to be honest I don't care. That's all I have to say on the topic.
