Universal being the big success story, look at their big five releases.

1. Jurassic World - 4th entry in established franchise
2. Furious 7 - 7th entry in established franchise
3. Minions - Spin off / 3rd entry in established franchise
4. Pitch Perfect 2 - 2nd entry
5. Fifty Shade of Grey - Original film, but based off hugely popular book

Now, I give them credit that JW and F7 finished well above even high expectations, but really nothing here screams "risk" in terms of a new idea with a big budget.

They still have two very new ideas coming out very soon this year in "Straight Outa Compton" and "Everest".  Sony Pictures hasn't exactly had many new ideas lately either.
