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<\/em> helped to offset a one-time loss due to the shutdown of VFX unit Pixomondo.<\/p>\n

According 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.<\/p>\n

Excluding 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.<\/p>\n

In 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>.<\/p>\n
