Stage 6 Films, Inc. is an American film production label of Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions that acquires, produces and distributes 10–15 films each year.[citation needed] Once a film is finished, Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions will decide if the film will be released theatrically or on a different platform.[1][page needed]

Founded in 2007, the label takes its name from the location of its main office, the Stage 6 building at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, CA (originally an actual sound stage used for such films as The Wizard of Oz).[2][3]
