    "excerpt": "Tokyo, September 20, 2026, 15:16 (JST) Twenty-three years after Underworld opened, Sony Group Corporation (TYO:6758; NYSE:SONY) still sells the film. Yet its current disclosed slate contains no new installment through June 2027. That makes the vampire series a library asset, not a dated growth catalyst. Its five films generated $542.9 million of unadjusted worldwide box office. The scale matters. That lifetime gross equals about 5.5% of Pictures’ fiscal 2025 sales, after currency conversion. Box office is not Sony revenue. Units: JPY, USD and securities traded. Sources: Tokyo historical data and NYSE historical data , as of September 18, 2026. Values are reported; percentages use the prior close. Sony’s Tokyo shares ended Friday 1.52% lower on 15.1 million shares. There is no evidence linking that move to the anniversary interest. The official Sony page dates the original film to 2003 and keeps digital and disc links active. It also identifies Subterranean Productions as the copyright holder. The Blade connection is narrower than some readers may expect. A crossover was discussed , but Marvel declined while preparing its own film. Marvel parent The Walt Disney Company NYSE:DIS therefore remains outside Sony’s Underworld economics. Units: nominal USD millions and calculated multiple. Source: The Numbers , accessed September 20, 2026. TS2 calculations divide worldwide gross by...",
