Sony, Warner Bros. set to earn gold at Box Office post Oscar nominations

Sony Pictures Entertainment and Warner Bros. will rake in a lot of money after the Oscars as both the studios are competing with 21 nominations each.

The publicity that the Hollywood studios will gain, could provide a box office bounce for their contending films like 'American Hustle' and 'Gravity', Fox News reported.

Sony's 1970s corruption film 'American Hustle' is tied with Warner Bros. space thriller 'Gravity' for the most nominations with 10 each, and both the studios will compete in the best picture race, along with Sony's hostage drama 'Captain Phillips' and Warner Bros. computer-age romance 'Her'.

According to movie tracking service Rentrak, Warner Brothers' Oscar-winning film 'Argo' had helped the ticket sales to jump by 59 percent after it was nominated in 2013.

'American Hustle' and 'Captain Phillips' have already earned a combined 343 million dollars around the world.

Warner Bros. is also hoping to capitalize on the Oscar nomination buzz, and will be expanding 'Gravity', which has already garnered 675 million dollars around the world, to 944 theaters.
