I get why some could see it as bad taste and yes even very disrespectful, but this is way over the top. The class actions were inevitable though... and more will follow. Sony Pictures is actually in a world of trouble right now. |
A world of trouble? Not really. Yeah, there will be some lawsuits, but there have been companies in dire straits just like this....Wal-Mart, JP Morgan, Target etc. All of them are fine. Aside from some people having to protect their identities (which is no laughing matter), the vast majority of this is embarrassing but not particularly damaging. I don't see their films suffering; which movie is produced by which studio means nothing to the average moviegoer. And this is Hollywood; grudges mean nothing when a studio agrees to your 200 million dollar movie.
Sony is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, of which Sony Pictures makes up only 10%. However, SPE is very profitable and successful; that's not gonna change. Sony Pictures will recover, as industry analysts expect them to (Google it), and life will continue. Anyone who thinks this will end either Sony or SPE doesn't have a firm grasp on reality.
