Another notes about those results :
- Sony Corporation made an operating income of 157,6 billion yen (1,42 billion dollars) during april-june 2017, that's the new record of the company for any Q1.
- Sony Corporation is targeting an operating income of 500 billion yen (4,53 billion dollars) for the fiscal year. If it succeeds, this would be the second biggest operating income of its history since the 520 billion yen (4,71 billion dollars) in 1998, the year of Gran Turismo and Men in Black (the movie).
Some comments from
non-GAF
- ”Results are good," said David Dai, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. ”But they're still low-balling their profit outlook, so I would expect to see them continue to beat consensus as well as their own guidance going forward."
- Chief Financial Officer Kenichiro Yoshida defended the conservative outlook, saying ”for one thing, we only had three months in this fiscal year." Sony decided not to raise its guidance due to ”variations of the macro-economic environment, and also cost and demand factors," he said.

They do have Spider-Man: Homecoming and Baby Driver (not sure if they'll make more than MiB) and Gran Turismo Sport (though GT1 sold 10m+).
I dont know why people are mentioning Spider-Man: Homecoming and Baby Driver when both of them are not doing anything exceptional in Box Office?
Spider-Man: Homecoming is still the 4th most successful film in the Spider Man Series. and i doubt if it will rise any further
and Baby Driver is also nothing to write home about. Less than 100 million in US Box Office.
