SONY is a household name just about everywhere. Are they known for their stellar movies? Not really. Are they known for their electronics, video games, and video game systems, absolutely! They also have a successful music label and multiple other successful businesses, but one that continues to disappoint time and time again, the SONY movie studio.
Their latest flop, “Madame Web” is among many other flops that have come from this studio. With sentiment of the Sony studio at a laughable low, maybe they are looking for a refresh play. Maybe Paramount is a lifeboat for the Sony movie studio.
There has been a lot of talk about Skydance and now that those 30 days of deal talking are up, there is a new offer on the table. This time from Sony/Apollo.
It seems investors biggest fears are Sony’s cash and should it be using so much of it to fund this venture? Teaming up with Apollo is basically saying that you can’t fund it all yourself, so should you at all? Apollo appears to be the “Investment” arm of the deal and Sony would acquire Paramount, but who knows what the final deal would be or if this offer will even be taken.
I think it would be a smart move for Sony. They need a refresh for their studio, and they need access to fresh directors and writers. Maybe it will be good, but it seems like a turn off for most investors because of funding.
I believe in Sony and maybe this is exactly what they need to expand and attract. What are your thoughts?
