At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sony folded the theatrical film unit of Crunchyroll into Columbia Pictures, allowing the latter to release anime films outside Japan.

Well, I should've seen this one coming, but here it is from the Digital Bits. Note that Bill has contacts with the home video business so he's pretty credible here: There you have it, folks. Walt Disney Home Video is as good as dead. Might also explain why the Disney Movie Club is shutting...

Given how Nintendo discontinued the 3DS and Wii U eshops earlier this year and the Xbox 360 stores plan on shutting down by July 2024, it gets me thinking, what if Sony plans to do the same thing to the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita in the next two years? What if they are planning an...

Well, this came out of nowhere. Per Deadline, Derek Connolly (Jurassic World) is penning the script. I had known a Zelda movie was being rumored for years, but I didn't expect Sony of all people to be involved (will there be a Zelda game on PlayStation? JK). That said, I'm not thrilled...

This morning at 11 AM, it was announced that Sony Pictures has acquired 100% of Genius Brands International for $500 million dollars. Sony had previously held a 7% stake in the company. Sony has also announced a new kids division, currently called Sony Wonder after their old kids home...

If Shari Redstone and her National Amusements company finally decide to sell Paramount Global, what I would like to happen is for Sony to buy it, and then sell their existing Sony Pictures (Columbia TriStar) division to someone else, like MGM Holdings. With that, MGM and old SPE would merge into...

Well, I figured we could make one since it's now official: Hotel Transylvania: Transformania's theatrical release has been canned and Prime Video is paying $100 million for the rights. https://variety.com/2021/film/news/hotel-transylvania-4-amazon-streaming-rights-sony-1235042371/ The film will...

Every other "Big Five" studios -- Disney, Paramount, Sony/Columbia, and WB -- have their own adult-animated shows. Disney - now owns 20th Century Fox, who makes The Simpsons, Futurama, King of the Hill, Family Guy, American Dad, Bob's Burger, and Archer. Paramount - Beavis & Butthead, South...

In truth, I really wish that the rights to SEGA's Sonic the Hedgehog series had gone to some other company other than Sony Pictures, especially if they're deciding to do it live-action. I've never even seen Deadpool, yet they hired the producer of that film for this one. Oh, why did Sonic have...

Ghostbusters Release Date: July 15, 2016

A new Ghostbusters animated series is in the works. It will be set in the year 2050 and the series will follow an entirely new generation of Ghostbusters. Ghostbusters director/producer Ivan Reitman is overseeing the project. Ecto Force is set to premiere sometime in early 2018...

I was discussing this somewhere else. I figured when Disney attained the tv rights to Spider-man from Sony, they got to do whatever they wished as long as they didn't contradict the Spectacular Spider-Man IP rights. Having the Daily Bugle in USM does not. I later found out that Netflix...
