Chupacabra555: First: Feature ^_^
Second: As usual, the fault is somewhere in between.
Spider-Man is a popular movie character again all due to Disney/Marvel (and Kevin Feige in particular). Sony pretty much had nothing to do with that.
Disney, on the other hand, wants the lion's share of the profits from any future Spider-Man movies, even though they get ALL the merchandising rights to perhaps the most popular character in the entire Marvel 'pantheon', so asking for a 50/50 split does come off as a bit greedy.
As for myself, I don't plan on watching any Sony Only Spidey flick, and I never say Venom despite the good word of mouth I heard about it.
Disney should just swallow their pride, and either Buy Spidey back, or buy Sony as a whole (although that may spark some serious 'monopoly' discussions in the government.
quwykxz: This is showing Sony about to do what Sony does best; be short-sighted, ungrateful assholes, and fuck Spider-Man through their sheer stupidity.
Anonymous4: I think you guys are making Sony out to be "bad guys". I just wanna say they aren't, Disney makes a well share of profit.
And, I think you forget that Sony Pictures is involved heavily within both the marketing and production of ALL Spider-Man films. It should also be brought to attention, Spider-Man merchandise could be well in the hundreds of millions of United States' Dollars. And, 5%, from a movie that racks in 1.1 BILLION USD in gross, is still massive in itself, being around 60 million. Alongside hundreds of millions of dollars from merchandise. Also, Disney was being pretty outrageous with 50% of all gross income from the movies. As Spider-Man in itself is Sony's intellectual property.
Also, Disney buying a company as MASSIVE as Sony would be outrageously expensive. SIE has direct ownership of the PlayStation, SP creates tons of movies annually. Generally, Sony has a vast variety of subsidiaries that are involved deeply in a large group of economics far greater than it appears on the surface. Sony could be worth tens of billions, if not more. The gross income of entire countries. Now, I doubt Sony will be able to just let Disney buy Spider-Man back, as they can still gain billions from it, and Disney would most likely only propose a couple billion to buy it. Generally, renewed cooperation between Disney and Sony is more appropriate.
Genuinely, Disney should've been willing to negotiate down to something like 25% of all profit, which is hundreds of millions of dollars, implying each movie makes the same income as Spider-Man: Far From Home did. And -I doubt Sony wants Spider-Man out of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the movies are generally more profitable there. Now -I definitively doubt that Sony is gonna actually allow for a proper withdraw, and both Disney and Sony will work to negotiate something as they both see monumental clas hback.
Although, in the end, I blame Disney for withdrawing from the situation. I wouldn't paint Disney as greedy, but by showing they're willing to withdraw, and make it very public. They threaten to ruin both public images so they can gain proper negotiable status with Sony itself.
appealus: Spider-Verse (by Sony Animation) was better than any MCU Spider-Man flick so I could give a shit if they lose the character. He's better off not being a Tony Stark fanboi.
Anonymous6: Disney is the one to blame. They asked for 50% of ALL future Spider-Man movies. Disney gets all the money from the other movies that Spider-Man is in, Sony doesn’t get ANY of that money, Sony actually PAYS for their sets with Spider-Man and any other character they own that show up in any Marvel movie. Disney is just being greedy little assholes, they didn’t even care that stan Lee died. How do we know this?: Stan Lee’s daughter spoke up. She said that nobody could have treated her father worse than Disney and Marvel executives. They didn’t even come up to her and give them their apologies and try to comfort her after Stan Lee died. Disney just doesn’t give a fuck about anybody any more, they’ll start caring if it’s to give them money. I’m HEAVILY on Sony’s side on this because they have shown that they haven’t done anything wrong as far as we know. Hell, just to play dirty, Sony got the writers from Homecoming and Far From Home to write the third Spider-Man film. Those writers work for Marvel.
TLDR: Disney is the overall greedy bitch and Sony hasn’t done anything wrong
