$46 million is actually a pretty good opening but not for a movie that had a $142 million dollar production budget.  I'm thinking that Sony will sell off Sony Pictures/Columbia eventually since the only successful franchise they have right now is Bond and they don't completely own that.  The most likely buyer is Fox since they recently tried but failed to buy Warner Brothers.

Ironically I think Sony's best chance at staying relevant in the movie business might be Nintendo, lol. If they could land a deal with Nintendo to get IP like Mario, Smash, Zelda, and Pokemon for movie deals, they would be a huge get for them. 

I don't really understand why movies need such a bloated budget anyway, make a film for $110 million instead, it's still a big enough budget. 

Can't see that happening the most likely canditate for Nintendo to let their IP's being used in movies would be Disney.  Fox buying Sony Pictures/Columbia is much more likely, they already own part of Sony's most successful franchise since they own the home video rights to the Bond movies.
