>They all made money
This is hollywood. Take the budget, double it, and add 50 million dollars and then you have an accurate idea of the true budget. To be "profitable" the reported boxoffice needs to be at least 3X the budget. For example, Sherman and Mr.Peabody had a budget of "150 million", made 300 million, but dreamworks still lost 57 million making the movie.
Known flops of the last two years are : Home, Penguins of Madagascar, Sherman and Mr. Peabody, Turbo, Rise of the Guardians.
Only The Croods and HTTYD were profitable.
100 terabytes is pretty small for a movie company. Sony has done several animated feature films, and modern feature animation has insane data requirements. 100 terabytes isn't even the assets from one movie.
I haven't seen numbers for any particular Sony movies, but numbers for several Dreamworks movies have been published, which can give an idea of just what goes into an animated feature film. "Rise of the Guardians" [1] had 250 TB of assets. "How to Train Your Dragon 2" has over 400 TB.
[1] No, not the owl movie. That was "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole". People often get them confused because of the slight similarity of titles, but they have nothing to do with each other.
