I know, they also handle the DVD distribution of their films and shows, which makes them money outside of the box office, but it really hasn't been a good year for Sony in the box office, which certainly matters.

Well Sony haven't actually released anything so far to have had a bad year.  'Paul Blart mall cop 2' made over 3 times it's production budget which more than covers the losses of the cheap film 'Aloha' and they didn't really release anything else in the April-June timeframe that will be included in the results.

That's kinda the point, this year they have barely released anything, and nothing that did much in the box office. So far, this is their worst box office year in at least 15 years (don't have data past that). But like I said, Spectre should in part remedy that.
