Samsung was originally a small film company, which emerged around the 1970s, but it did not become an atmosphere. Since then, it has been cooperating with Colombia and was acquired by Coca-Cola Company together with Colombia. Later, Sony acquired Colombia and Samsung from Coca-Cola with 1989, and established Sony Pictures/Colombia-Samsung.
So Sony's own films often appear Columbia/Samsung films.
At that time, the first film "Final Fantasy" developed by Sony's game company was extremely risky at the box office, so it was logical to support the release by Colombia. In addition, after launching the PSP game console, Sony promised to provide a large number of Sony Pictures/Columbia/Samsung movies UMD (a high-tech CD) to support the console, which is also the case.
PS:
Incidentally, in 2005, Sony acquired MGM, an old Hollywood film company.
