Founded in 2007, the film division takes its name from the location of its main office, the Stage 6 building at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California (originally an actual sound stage used for such films as The Wizard of Oz).[2][3][4] Before that, the functions were taken by TriStar Pictures, Destination Films and Triumph Films.[5]
