Stage 6 Films, Inc. is an American production and distribution label of Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions that acquires and produces feature films to be released either theatrically, on demand, or through streaming services. Once a film is finished, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions will decide if the film will be released theatrically or on a different platform.
Founded in 2007, the film division takes its name from the location of its main office, the Stage 6 building at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California (originally an actual sound stage used for such films as The Wizard of Oz). Before that, the functions were taken by TriStar Pictures, Triumph Films, and Destination Films.
