Sony Pictures to close Albuquerque visual effects studio this July
Sony Pictures Imageworks will end operations at its downtown Albuquerque studio when the lease expires this July. About 60 workers will be offered positions at Sony facilities in Canada or the Los Angeles area. The move follows an economics decision as New Mexico offers 25 percent film incentives versus Vancouver's 46 percent. The studio contributed to films like I Am Legend Green Lantern and The Smurfs.
