What's Disney's problem here? So you'll make a little less on the Spider-man movies...BFD
Agreed. Make some new Spidey merch. Build a Spidey ride in Tokyo. Whatever.
This is bad for both sides. Disney loses a marque character and essentially an extra MCU film every two years. Sony risks putting out a sucky Spider/Venom universe of their own and losing way more money than they’d be giving up to Disney.
Sony is feeling themselves after Venom did well at the box office but it was panned by critics. If they try to move it to July 4th weekend going forward, it won’t do nearly as well. And doing well is relative. Venom’s domestic numbers are on par with Doctor Strange. Not something to build a franchise around. Sony also underestimated what Iron Man, Happy Hogan, and Nick Fury did to boost those two films.
