Despite the challenges, Greyhound increased its adjusted operating profit for the year to $55.2 million, from $54.4 million in fiscal 2016, a 2.7 percent increase. That translated to an adjusted operating margin for Greyhound of 6.2 percent in fiscal 2017 versus a margin of 6 percent for fiscal 2016.

Apple paid Sony about $70 million for 15 years of streaming rights to the Tom Hanks film “Greyhound,” which cost about $50 million to make, according to sources familiar with the terms. Apple is doing this, as well as shopping for old TV content, as production stoppages have delayed its production of new content.
