  • SPA Updated Syllabus
    Sony Pictures Animation - Marshall MBA Project 2017 Project Faculty: Violina Rindova Project Description Sony Pictures Animation was founded in 2002, and is a division of the Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group. Our mission is to produce a wide variety of animated family entertainment for audiences around the world. The studio is best known for Surfs Up (which received an Academy Award® nomination for Best Animated Feature Film), Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and the Hotel Transylvania franchise. We recently released The Emoji Movie and we are currently working on an inspirational film called The Star which releases in November 2017, Hotel Transylvania 3 which release in July 2018; and a Spider-Man animated feature which releases in December 2018. The main focus of our efforts to date has been the production of feature length animated motion pictures for theatrical release. Because of the lengthy production process for animation, we generally release two motion pictures each year. But, our business is challenged in a variety of ways: overall theatrical motion picture attendance has been falling and DVD revenue is 50% of what it was ten years ago; our business is dominated by motion pictures from Disney, Pixar and Illumination which makes it difficult to find good, non-competitive release dates as well as compete against Disney and Universal’s ability to promote their movies across multiple outlets, including theme parks, cruise ships and retail stores; because of the decline of DVD’s, theatrical performance has become more important and motion pictures are much more dependent on favorable reviews to get people out of their houses; and, audience viewing patterns are shifting, especially to streaming and other formers of non-theatrical viewing.
