History.
Sony Corporation first got into the movie business after buying Columbia Pictures and TriStar Pictures in 1989. They renamed the company as "Sony Pictures" in 1991. 
Sony Pictures eventually branched out. It created other divisions. The company even had a part of rival studio MGM at one point. It made several James Bond movies with them. The company was hacked in 2014 by people who seemed to be from North Korea. The U.S. government thinks this was for making "The Interview", a movie that made fun of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Sony Pictures recovered after the hacking. They made a deal with Disney to share "Spider-Man" movies with Marvel Studios. They also stream movies and television programs on Netflix.
