Guber's most important contributions to Sony Pictures Entertainment were a company restructuring and, perhaps more importantly, rebuilding the lot located at Culver City for over $103 million, making it a state of the art film and TV production facility. Within the Sony empire, Guber played a substantial role in the creation of such Columbia Pictures' box office hits as A Few Good Men, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Groundhog Day, and In the Line of Fire along with his other major financial successes released through the Sony TriStar Pictures banner that included Terminator 2, Basic Instinct, Sleepless in Seattle and Philadelphia. This left the competition clearly in the dust with Sony achieving a box office market share of 17 percent as well as leading the industry with nine $100 million dollar blockbusters and twenty-one $50 million dollar domestic hits garnering a remarkable 120 Academy Award nominations, the highest four-year total ever for a single company.

Nonetheless, Guber was asked to leave Sony in 1995 after Sony reported a $600 million loss and wrote-off a further $4.8 billion resulting from the reduction in value incurred under Guber. At the time, this was the greatest single write-off in corporate history and marked the end of an unprecedented string of losses and failures under Guber's management at Sony Pictures. This brief but costly period of Sony Pictures history was chronicled in a best selling book by Nancy Griffin entitled "Hit and Run: How Jon Peters and Peter Guber Took Sony for a Ride in Hollywood."
Guber then formed Mandalay Entertainment Group, where he is Chairman and CEO, to produce films and television shows.

Guber stated: "Professional content creators will need to adapt to a fundamentally new form of storytelling, one where users become a critical part of the creative process. GoFish is one of the few companies in this space that wants to differentiate itself by collaborating with the scarcest resource - the talent. As a creative entrepreneur in filmed entertainment in all media for over 30 years, I find this medium incredibly exciting."
