Columbia Pictures Industries Inc Review

Not bad. A bit boring. Could have photos of the inside of stages & historical listing of films shot on those stages - similar to what Paramount's page does. Its a bit too bland, needs more photos of aspects of the 43 acre lot. Is not updated regularly

I apologize if this is not the correct forum for this, but I have had a devil of a time just finding this one. Just trying to be fair, not trying to be mean or vindictive. My phone experience was brief but friendly. The actual problem I have with them centers around their BDs. I have recently purchased Blu-rays with this new Cinavia protection being used by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. 20 minutes into my movie I suddenly get this message that I will receive no more audio, that "Cinavia" is preventing my use of my computer playing audio for the Blu-ray movie. So I try it in my other computer, move it to the 20 minute mark to continue. At 40 minutes, same thing! I tried it next in my two $300 Pioneer machines (two different models). Same thing! I then tried two ancient cheap Magnavox machines I have (but which always have given me superior picture quality to all the other machines. Bingo. This time it worked. I called their feedback line and left a message that basically said that, even though this Cinavia garbage was actually intended to be incorporated into the disc, I had to treat it like a defective disc and return it to Walmart. I later bought another disc, with the same Cinavia problem. I called them back and left another message, stating the same thing. This may be something "necessary" (really going the extra mile (or 500 extra miles) to "protect" their property from whatever in the heck they're trying to protect it from) to them, but it is going so far that their "protection" is my "broken", and it is literally so. If I can never play any discs on 2/3 of my players, what good does it do me even to buy the movie? It truly is "broken" in any real sense of the word, and must be returned for my money back. I'm not sure what else I can say. I would like to buy movies from Sony, because I am losing out on a lot of favorites if I don't, but if I buy them, I am just supporting Cinavia and not able to watch it in most parts of my house and especially, away from home on my laptop. These are perfectly normal legitimate region A/1 drives/players, not at all illegal in any way; they are simply normal. I just know I can't support this. And if I were you, I would make sure first that you were able to play these types of movies. I am not aware of a way that you can use to figure out which type of disc you are using before you buy it. Just be careful of what you are doing before you buy it! Good luck! -- SRE.

Came here for the jeopardy taping and it was good. The staff are a little young and cocky. Aside from that it was a great experience!

We want watch new movies from Nicholas CAGE and Arnold SCHWARZENEGGER please

Secure. Dont come without clearence wont get on lot. But security is polite.

Great place to work and everyone that I've met are friendly.

Had a great time at Sony! Amazing Studio Tour!!!! Will go again for sure.

So much fun attending a taping of the Shark Tank. The security guard who checked us in to the lot was incredible.

I wish I could remember his name because he was super friendly, funny and helpful. Everyone should be as happy as him.

The Historic parking lot Drive-In Theatre events are fantastic! A great service during the pandemic

I was star struck when I came face to face to my favorite television/movie studio I LOVE SONY

Sony pictures offers great tours on the studio lot. I highly recommend anyone visiting this spot, you will more than likely recognize lots of spots from different movies.

Ambiance was preapared for skechers 25th aniversary. Spectacular

The tour is great and the weather is almost always gorgeous

Peacock television is Columbia pictures. The old MGM lot

Rude company. Was invited to an interview and told to pay all my own expenses. Also was mistreated on the phone by their employee, Andrea. They are sooo California - Money first, people last.

Yall better pull your act together 'cause Disney's gonna buy you next

Rude on the phone, rude at the studio. They act like they run the world, not television crap.

First time be here to see the sitcom shooting of " One Day at a Time". Fun experience, especially with the host who makes jokes all the time. Will be here again!

The not commonplace Sony Pictures Entertainment Building was a filming location for the movie "Last Action Hero." In addition, I really enjoyed the rainbow at the entrance of the Sony Studios.

Massive studio in Culver City with several production office suites and over 25 stages.

Went here for an interview, was awesome. Would definitely like to work for Sony Pictures one of these days but I turned down the offer for another opportunity.

I often visit for meetings but I know they door tours of the studio. I believe you can call and set something up. I see the tours in groups where a guide will tell you about what goes on where. There's also a gift shop on site to grab some swag.

For a studio tour, we had a fun time seeing all the behind the scenes stuff. You get to see sound stages, the foley studio, film worn clothing & outfits, street lots, previously used familiar vehicles and depending on the time of year, the Jeopardy studio. A fun time for movie/TV fans. A unique experience & good time if you get the opportunity.

Was in LA for a quick two day visit/tour. We got in to see a taping of Wheel - it was a great time and definitely recommend. We did the studio tour at WB and it was totally worth it. Parking was easy but had a bit of a wait for the first taping to get over with. It ran a little longer than expected, but hey, i'll get to hear my clapping on real TV now, awesomo!
