If Sony only released Spider-Man 3 in 2007, they'd turn a profit. Anything else that does well is just a bonus for a studio stuck in Spideys web. Outside the superhero genre Sony Pictures has a mix of dramas, thrillers, and even a family movie up on deck to see what else will stick. Looking over their release schedule, I'd guess not much. Thank god for you Peter Parker.

Here's our quick look at what Sony Pictures has in store for you next year. Click each movie title for more information and images.
