Sony Pictures Entertainment revenue came in roughly flat for fiscal year 2025, as higher sales at its Crunchyroll anime streamer and the success of global blockbuster film “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle” were offset by overall lower revenue from theatrical releases.
For the year ended March 31, 2026, Sony Pictures Entertainment had sales of JPY1.499 trillion, about $9.92 billion, essentially flat. Its biggest hit of the year was anime movie “Infinity Castle,” which pulled in $741 million at the worldwide box office.

SPE’s operating income came in at JPY104.9 billion ($687 million), down 11%. That included about JPY27.1 billion in one-time charges due to “impairment losses against assets associated with Pixomondo, which operates VFX and virtual production businesses, and related shutdown costs.”
Excluding the charges for Pixomondo, Sony Pictures Entertainment’s FY25 operating income on a yen basis increased approximately 13% year-over-year (and up 11% in U.S. dollars, to about $858 million).
For fiscal 2026, SPE is “focusing on creating and strengthening franchises” with major releases slated to include “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and “Jumanji: Open World.”
In the March 2026 quarter, SPE revenue was up 14%, to JPY472.9 billion. A bright spot was Sony Pictures Animation’s “GOAT,” an action-comedy from producer Stephen Curry about a small goat named Will who gets a chance to compete in pro “roarball.” The kid-friendly movie banked $192 million at the global box office (and $103 million domestically) following its Feb. 13 wide release.
Overall, in the most recent quarter, the Japanese tech and media giant reported overall sales of JPY3.036 trillion (up 8%) and net income of JPY83.1 billion (down 63%), including the impact of the Pixomodo-related charges.
