\n\tSony Pictures<\/a> Entertainment\u2019s full year sales were flat at around $9.917B for the year ending March 2026 as anime titles including Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie \u2013 Infinity Castle<\/em> helped to offset a one-time loss due to the shutdown of VFX unit Pixomondo<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tAccording to results released in Tokyo on March 8, SPE\u2019s operating income decreased by 11% to $687M over the full financial year, mostly due to a non-recurring, non-cash impairment\u00a0related to winding down the Pixomondo business. Lower theatrical revenues outside of the Japanese anime segment also contributed to the decline.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tExcluding the Pixomondo shutdown, operating income was up 11% in USD terms to $858M and increased by 13% in Yen terms to JPY132B, mostly due to the strength of the Crunchyroll business, although an increase in series deliveries in the television division also made a contribution.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tIn addition to strong worldwide global theatrical revenues for Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle<\/em>, Crunchyroll received a boost from paid subscriber growth. The studio\u2019s theatrical hits also included GOAT<\/em>, 28 Years Later<\/em> and Japanese anime title Chainsaw Man \u2013 The Movie: Reze Arc<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\tMore soon\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source deadline.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sony Pictures Entertainment\u2019s full year sales were flat at around $9.917B for the year ending March 2026 as anime titles including Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba The Movie \u2013 Infinity Castle helped to offset a one-time loss due to the shutdown of VFX unit Pixomondo.\u00a0 According to results released in Tokyo on March 8, SPE\u2019s […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2407233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[25172],"tags":[470548,470523,470549,314133],"class_list":["post-2407232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","tag-demon-slayer-kimetsu-no-yaiba-infinity-castle","tag-pixomondo","tag-sony-corp","tag-sony-pictures"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Sony-Pictures-FY-Sales-Boosted-By-Crunchyroll-But-Flat-Overall.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2407232","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2407232"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2407232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2407234,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2407232\/revisions\/2407234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2407233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2407232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2407232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/celebrity.land\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2407232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
