The film of Michael Jackson's "This Is It" tour rehearsals, released last October after the singer's death, cemented a record box office year for giant Sony.
The movie alone accounted for over $250 million worldwide, while Sony Pictures Entertainment raked in nearly $3.4 billion overall by early December.
The totals did not include DVD sales, which have soared in recent months, and raised the likelihood of some kind of follow up.
But film Director Kenny Ortega and Sony CEO Howard Stringer said Friday they aren't certain of a sequel.
[Kenny Ortega, Director, "This Is It"]:
"I don't believe so. I think that Michael's music will live on for eternity and his films, and short films. I think there are many more ways to celebrate the legacy of Michael Jackson. But I think 'This is it' really was the story about a particular time, a period of time and a process. So I think we've probably seen the movie."
[Sir Howard Stringer, Sony CEO]:
"3D, maybe."
The movie of Jackson's concert rehearsals, filmed before his death last June, has also seen sales of 5 million soundtracks.
Jackson sold 23 million albums in 2009, while early DVD sales of the film have also broken records for a music film.
Sony Music has signed a $250 million, 10-album deal with Jackson's estate through 2017, and the first new music is expected in November.
The entertainment conglomerate hopes its film and music divisions can help return it to the black, after Sony suffered a group loss of nearly $2.2 billion last year.
