Beyond cutting away their weak divisions, Sony could easily churn more from their movie division if they greenlit the proper projects. They've made a lot of poor decisions last year with movies like After Earth and White House Down. This year it's Robocop and Minuments Men.

                             World wide revenue                                                       budget
Robocop:                 $ 146.000.000 $ 100.000.000
After Earth:                 $ 243.800.000 $ 130.000.000
White House Down:  $ 205.000.000 $ 150.000.000

 

Still, it will be a minimum profit for After Earth/Robocop (Robocop is still in the cinema's).
White House Down, is even a lost. I don't expect millions  with the DVD/Blue-ray's sale. I am expecting some big numbers from The amazing Spider-man 2. 

Very nice. Except that the studio doesn't get all of the grossing. I would say about 50% goes to the theatre. Also, in several countries the movie is actually distributed by other companies.

if you look at the movie division's financial, you will see that they only get a small cut from the worldwide grossing.
