Sony pictures also made money. spider man this year, and the superman reboot next year will show some profit.

Superman, like all DC characters, are property of Warner Bros. I don't think they have anything in commom with Sony Pictures.

Maybe Robocop will do them money next year

I don't know why I typed superman, your guess is as good as mine. what I meant to type was; "Spider-Man" reboot in the third quarter benefits from this year and it should next year around the world, same for Men in Black 3, including their television production like wheel of fortune. etc - all part of sony pictures. - edit even if the profit not that fantastic, it is a plus lol

Sony Pictures lost 4.9 billion Yen ($63 million) for Q1 2012 on revenue of $1.9 billion. 

That included MIB 3 in that quarter which has the same budget and grossed the same amout globally as The Amazing Spider-Man just did.   Q1 also had 21 Jump Street which had a budget of $42 million and grossed over $200 million.   But Sony had a big flop this last quarter: Total Recal whcih grossed just $58 million on a $125 million budget.

If Sony lossed money during the quarter that had both MIB 3 and 21 Jump Street, I don't see how Sony could do better in Q2 with Spider-Man (same budget and gross as MIB3 ) and a big flop (Total Recall).
