Sony Pictures, the studio whose recent releases include T2 Trainspotting, Sausage Party and Passengers, has announced a dramatic revision of future profit in its film division.
The impairment charge resulted from a downward revision in the future profitability projection for the motion pictures business within the pictures segment.
Sony also suffered from an email leak in late 2014 that revealed a number of insider details that embarrassed the studio.
The leak was claimed by North Korea, in response to the lampooning of its leader in Seth Rogen comedy The Interview.
