The Culver City studio is the second major after Disney to reach $1 billion domestically so far this year, thanks to successes like "The Amazing Spider-Man," which has cumed $242.1 million Stateside, and "Men in Black 3," at north of $175 million.

Sony reached $1 billion in 209 days -- a time second only to 2002, when the studio hit the mark in 191 days.

Warner Bros. and Universal will reach the milestone this week; Fox has currently collected more than $720 million domestically, while Lionsgate and Paramount follow with approximately $680 million and $567 million, respectively.
