Sony is about to take a $1 billion write-down for their film division.
Despite this, Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai remains committed to the film division.
Other films, such as The Magnificent Seven and Passengers, failed to break out in a meaningful way, leaving Sony in bad shape.
A number of their would-be tentpoles had difficulties, most infamously Ghostbusters, which managed just $229.1 million globally on a whopping $144 million budget.
