Anyone who knows negotiations knows you start high and work down.
Generally yes, but if you start insultingly high then you can lose the entire deal. When negotiating a raise, you don't start by asking for 1,000%.
That would be on sony to go low though. Seems like they didnt even try.

Disney asked that future Spider-Man films be a 50/50 co-financing arrangement between the studios, and there were discussions that this might extend to other films in the Spider-Man universe. Sony turned that offer down flat. Sources said that Sony, led by Tom Rothman and Tony Vinciquerra, came back with other configurations, but Disney didnt want to do that.
Did they say what the other configurations were? ---
