Sony Pictures History (cont'd)

THE DR. OZ SHOW enjoyed the highest-rated talk show debut in seven years. In September, the show staged the largest ever free clinic in Houston, Texas, where more than 1,700 people received medical care. And on the Culver City Studio lot, after more than 3 years of construction, employees celebrated the grand opening of the LOT (Lot and Office Transformation) Project complex. The new Jack and Harry Cohn buildings, commissary, grounds and facilities not only shape the landscape of SPE’s headquarters, they also give the studio lot a new center of gravity and a place where employess from all parts of SPE can eat, socialize, exercise and do business together. The project earned a Gold LEED certification for adhering to the highest environmental and sustainability construction standards.

The modestly budgeted sleeper hit ZOMBIELAND exceeded all industry expectations in October generating more than $71 million at the box office. Sony Pictures brought MICHAEL JACKSON’S THIS IS IT to audiences later in the month, drawing from more than 120 hours of behind-the-scenes footage as the late performer rehearsed for his sold-out concert series.

Sony Pictures Releasing International ended the year by breaking a record as it passed $2 billion overseas, a first in SPE history.

With a rich history that dates back to the birth of the motion picture industry, today SPE is known throughout the world not only for its leading motion pictures and television programming, but also its breakthrough digital innovations that bridge the gap between entertainment content and consumer delivery systems.
