Sony Pictures Entertainment reported essentially flat fiscal 2025 revenue of about ¥1.499 trillion ($9.92B), as gains from Crunchyroll and a Demon Slayer hit offset declines in theatrical and other TV revenues.

The year’s results also showed TV productions up 12%, Media Networks up 13%, and streaming platform sales down 10% to $1.14B. For FY26 SPE expects roughly 9% revenue growth to about ¥1.63 trillion with operating income up about 38%, helped by releases like Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Jumanji: Open World.
