Sony Pictures is committed to working with top talent across the world and this line-up should find a strong resonance in India - we are sure we have something for every taste. With the strong Hollywood line-up and an added local release slate which we will be announcing as we move further, we will be upping the entertainment quotient for Indian audiences,” he said.
2017 continues in the same vein with more new films with franchise potential (The Dark Tower, Uncharted), established franchises (Bad Boys 3, Resident Evil 6, Barbie, an animated Smurfs movie, the next Spider-Man film, The Equalizer 2), and original films such as Baby Driver and The Lamb.
