Forums - Movies & TV - Sony considering selling off TV and Movie business

Dr.Vita on 23 January 2017

It's really a shame considering they are one of the best quality-wise in the industry. :/




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Hollywood's box office revenue went from 36 billion to 38 billion in the last year alone, and is projected to go from 38 billion in revenue in 2016 to 50 billion in 2020. TV and video sales, *only* increased by 37 billion dollars last year.  Apparently forcasting 30% growth over a 4 year period is "hurting".

Once again your opinions have no basis in fact.

Revenue is a meaningless number alone. What are operating profits? I mean we have movies that are costing these days 300+ million dollars.

But I'm also betting that the majority of that "revenue" is concentrated in one company. Disney. I mean what movies are the ones raking in a billion dollars roughly. It's the marvel mvoies, the new disney animated movies, the Star Wars movies. All disney.

Yeah, Disney's dominance of the box office last year was pretty impressive. If we go back to Force Awakens, they've had the only movies to reach a billion in revenue (Force Awakens which did 2 billion, Civil War, Dory, Zootopia and now Rogue One) and Jungle Book at number 6, which did $966 million.

Hollywood isn't expanding. If you don't expand you're going to explode. They are rehashing the same stuff over and over. This will result in fatigue. They have to get more creative or else. Also revenue isn't the same as profit. Finally, there is a lot of articles pointing out theatres are closing and ticket sales are down.

I suppose that 30% growth is just fueled by hopes and dreams then? I just pointed out to you thast ticket sales *increased* by $2 billion last year alone.

Like the person above me, what if you exclude Disney? Not to mention Sony being one of the biggest producer in big movies is probably selling off their tv and movie division soon.

That's what you get for all those awful Adam Sandler movies.

Well the video game industry is shrinking too if you exclude Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. What a completely nonsensical argument.

I couldn't disagree more.

Sony needs to sell it's music division, smartphone division, tv division and movie division. They should also sell playstation if they aren't going to make hardware anymore and focus on home cinema and camera's and the usual insurances.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

Yet, none of them are going away in gaming.

The Pixels movie disagrees with you.
