Topic	Disney is the bad guy in the Disney/Sony Spider-man negotiations

Enough to make yet another topic when he could have just added it to the other 5 he's posting in. 50/50 co-financing is not a bad deal because it amounts to the same amount put in by both parties and then put out. There's no guarantee Sony alone can hit the same numbers as the MCU Spider-Man is hitting right now. It's dumb to defend Sony on this when ultimately the characters belong to Disney and these studios, like others mentioned in other topics, fuck up and reboot just to maintain the rights. Exactly. Using FFH as an example, they had a budget of $160 million and it made $1B+. If they split the financing and the profits, Sony is paying only $80 million for a $500 million return. We can look at Venom and say that Sony made more off of that movie. But subsequent Venom movies and whatever other projects Sony is planning are not guaranteed to do anywhere near the same numbers. It's not like Venom blew everyone's socks the way Deadpool movie did and we've seen with the DCEU how numerous bad films will yield diminishing returns. The power of the MCU, on the other hand, is enough to push many films into the $1B+ range. --- I have nothing else to say <cite>RchHomieQuanChi posted [p:926367842] in Disney is ...
