Partially thanks to Skyfall blasting off as the highest-grossing James Bond film of all time (currently at $669 million globally), Sony Pictures has hit the $4 billion mark for 2012. Its previous high was $3.6 billion in 2009. Key players included The Amazing Spider-Man, Men in Black 3, Hotel Transylvania, The Vow, and 21 Jump Street. The studio is No. 1 in North America for the year, totaling $1.6 billion domestically. Sony’s final film for 2012 is Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty, opening in NYC and L.A. on Dec. 19.
