Sony: More movie business layoffs coming
  • Vitaliy_KiselevVitaliy_Kiselev

    The solution from Sony is to cut $250 million out of its entertainment budget, while trimming down the number of releases from the typical 23 per year to a leaner 18. According to the LA Times, a further $100 million in cuts are expected to be identified by a consulting firm Sony has engaged to assess its studio operations.

    Honestly I have no clue how movies continue such high profit; I've seen maybe 5 new movies over the past year or so, and was not impressed with any of them... guess i'm growing old

    Sony has offered early retirement to workers at five factories across Japan – including one that makes cameras – as part of a move to cut costs.

    The plants are run by Sony EMCS, a Sony Corporation subsidiary, and reportedly employ around 5,000 staff.

    The Sony factory at Kohda, in the Aichi Prefecture, makes cameras - reported to be Cyber-shot compacts, as well as camera modules.

    The Kohda plant is also understood to manufacture interchangeable lenses following the closure of a Sony EMCS site at Minokamo in the Gifu Prefecture that was announced in 2012.

    @robertGL, I don't see how age has anything to do with enjoying good art. Might I suggest that you're watching the wrong films? I just watched a documentary called "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" and found it to be extremely worthwhile.
