do you have any idea how many box office bombs Sony Pictures has had in the last few years? I'll clue you in: a lot. And even the films they've had, for the most part, that have had somewhat success have also had hefty budgets that ended up not making them much money
Film production companies are not always sa gold mine, its actually a fairly dangerous field because of how high risk bigger titles can be in this day and age. That's why we've seen so many fairly large film companies from 20 years ago sort of disappear (MGM, Lionsgate, etc.)
I have a feeling that Sony is not making much (if anything) from their movie division and that quite possibly at this point in time the value really lies in the IPs that they control and the potential money they could get from selling their properties and rights.
I mean things like Ghostbusters and Pixels no doubt are majorly red in terms of money and I seriously doubt that Sony can infinitely right off their film losses from taxes or whatever
