From the time he stepped in as chairman of Sony’s Motion Picture Group in 2015, Tom Rothman has heard the rumors that Sony would eventually sell because it didn’t have a streaming service or the sc…
, a brand-new franchise for us. Ours is a fantastic model, when you win. The fact that we are one of the few companies that put that first gives us a great advantage with talent and filmmakers. We are not subservient to the larger corporate issues of a service and subscribers, and onto the next. We burn the boats on every movie. Quentin Tarantino said, ‘Rothman, yeah, he’s a butts-in-seats guy.’ I don’t know if my kids will like it on my tombstone, but I’ll take it. I’m a butts-in-seats guy.
DEADLINE: Beyoncé aside, your model makes you susceptible to slumps. That is not cushioned by the passive flow of streaming revenue. Isn’t that a potential Achilles heel to your model?: An Achilles heel? No. Is it a challenge to our model? Absolutely. But it has always been that way. I’ve done this now for decades; I’ve had hot hands and cold hands. Ultimately, you got to have more hot hands than cold hands, or you won’t last. I have a particular ethos I’ve followed and it’s not foolproof.
We just went through an Oscar race where some Best Picture contenders had runtimes of around three hours. Many streamer films clock in long. How much can you lean on filmmakers when, if a movie is 15 or 30 minutes shorter, you’ll get an extra theatrical run each day? I never speak about it in that way. I speak about it in terms of the quality of the experience for the audience. If the film is less repetitive, more concise, more propulsive, the audience is going to enjoy it more. It’s going to be a better movie. I definitely agree with you that, overall, films have gotten too long. It’s ironic; I personally have worked on two of the three biggest films of all time.
