For the three months ended June 30, 2021, Sony Pictures Entertainment posted profits of $232 million, a 6% decrease versus the same period last year on a local currency basis (27 billion yen to 25.4 billion yen). Revenue was up 15% on a U.S. dollar basis to $1.87 billion.
Films in theatrical release during fiscal Q1 included Screen Gems’ The Unholy and animated sequel Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway. The latter has grossed $151.5 million worldwide thus far ($114 million during the quarter) with Korea and Brazil still to come.

Films due in the second quarter include Don’t Breathe 2 and Venom: Let There Be Carnage.
