Japan’s Sony reports a hefty profit on the back of its blockbuster ‘Spider-Man’ movie
Sony lifted full-year profit guidance after Spider-Man: Brand New Day drove a record box office run and games revenue rose 8.56%, the company said.
- On Thursday, Sony reported a 45% rise in second-quarter operating profit to 622.3 billion yen , beating market estimates due to stronger performance across its games and movies units.
- Theatrical success of 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' drove Sony Pictures Entertainment earnings to $488 million, a 527% surge over last year when the film earned $2.52 billion globally.
- Sony's theatrical revenue jumped more than 1,100% year-over-year to $1.28 billion, aided by 'Resident Evil' grossing $400 million, offsetting a 45% television revenue decline to $483 million.
- The Japanese entertainment and technology conglomerate raised its full-year profit outlook by 9% following the strong quarterly results, reflecting confidence in its diversified portfolio.
- Sony's games business expects significant gains from 'Grand Theft Auto VI' launching later this month, though the division faces mounting pressure from higher memory chip prices amid the AI boom.
