索尼收购《花生漫画》系列版权
公司将拥有史努比和查理·布朗所属IP的80%权益。
索尼将以约4.6亿美元收购查尔斯·舒尔茨创作的《花生漫画》系列角色(包括史努比与查理·布朗)版权。此次交易中,索尼从加拿大公司WildBrain购得该IP的41%股份。由于索尼早在2018年已持有该系列39%的版权,此次收购完成后其总持股比例将达80%。交易尚待监管部门批准,一旦完成,《花生漫画》将成为索尼的合并子公司。舒尔茨家族仍将保留该系列剩余20%的权益。
75年前的1950年,舒尔茨通过连载漫画开创了《花生漫画》宇宙。该IP此后蓬勃发展,衍生出动画系列、音乐卡通片及电影作品,使史努比成为家喻户晓的形象。索尼表示,自数年前收购该品牌39%权益以来,公司始终致力于拓展《花生漫画》的知识产权价值。日本索尼音乐娱乐公司首席执行官村松俊辅补充道:"通过增持股份,我们将依托索尼集团的全球网络与集体智慧,进一步提升'花生漫画'品牌的价值,对此我们深感振奋。"

Sony is buying Peanuts
The company will own 80 percent of the franchise that features Snoopy and Charlie Brown.
Sony is paying approximately $460 milliion to purchase Peanuts [PDF] and its characters, including Snoopy and Charlie Brown, created by Charles M. Schulz. That’s a 41 percent stake Sony is buying from Canadian firm WildBrain. Since Sony bought 39 percent of the franchise back in 2018, this will give the company an 80 percent stake. The deal is still subject to regulatory approvals, but Peanuts will become Sony’s consolidated subsidiary once it’s closed. Schulz’s family still owns the remaining 20 percent stake in the franchise.
Schulz launched the Peanuts universe in comic strips 75 years ago, back in 1950. The franchise has grown massively since then, spawning animated series, cartoon musicals and movies that made Snoopy a household name. The company said that it has focused on expanding the Peanuts IP since it bought 39 percent of the brand years ago. “With this additional ownership stake, we are thrilled to be able to further elevate the value of the ʻPEANUTSʼ brand by drawing on the Sony Groupʼs extensive global network and collective expertise,” Sony Music Entertainment Japan CEO Shunsuke Muramatsu added.
