Yeah whoever is running Sony pictures is friggin retarded. I follow movie news as well and there was no missing that Sony is having an abysmal year. I mean, when u continue to greenlight Adam Sandler movies despite them consistently being some of the most painfully bad comedies, u have to wonder what the heck is wrong with the people running SP. Pixels was supposed to be a huge hit (was predicted to make like $180 and had the director of a few of the Harry potter movies), but they put Adam Sandler in there and sure enough it bombed terribly.
Sony needs to do some firing at Sony pictures for sure. Oh, and Sony is about to be in even more trouble as they're likely losing the rights to continue releasing bond movies. MGM is predicted to switch to WB as a partner.

First of all, all these movies were greenlit by the previous chief, Amy Pascal, who has been replaced.
Second of all, they had a contract with Adam Sandler. You can't just break a contract. Luckily, Pixels was the last movie in that contract, and they in all likelyhood won't have anything to do with Sandler in the future.
So yeah, all these changes were already made, but the results won't come before the remains of the Pascal era projects are finsihed, so change will be evident in 2016 onwards. And also, Sony as a whole isn't in trouble anymore, they aren't at all relying on the Bond deal to survive.

Oh, wow. Awesome news! When was pascal fired?
For the record, I root for Sony, which is why it makes me mad when it seems they make dumb decisions that dog them into a hole.
