At what point should they stop doing it? Is it in 10 years? In three more movies? Is it now? Its hardly 'for free'. 5% of the gross + merchandising a lot for a film they paid $0 to produce. Sony is still taking all the risk and fronting all of the costs here. It just isn't being percieved as the risk it is because of how unstoppable the juggernaut has become. they don't get 5% gross. they get 5% first day gross which, while significant to an actor when they get that deal, is not significant to a movie studio that produces the movie. People keep bringing up the merchandising rights - but they have that no matter what. It's mostly irrelevant to the whole discussion. Whether Disney makes a movie or Sony makes a movie or nobody makes a movie, Disney still sells spiderman toys. The best case scenario is that Marvel makes a great movie that makes kids want to buy toys more, but this isn't particularly relevant to the deal. After all, Sony's position is that they can make great Spider-Man movies without Marvel. If that's true, Disney gets good toy sales no matter what. It doesn't change anything. --- The batman villians all seem to be one big joke that batman refuses to laugh at - SantaRPG <cite>CoolCly posted [p:926389681] in Spider-Man...
