no sure why people seem to think that Disney folded on this deal. They originally asked for 50% sony said 5%, Disney then said 30% sony said 5%. Now it comes out that the deal is 25%, sounds a lot more like Sony folded
They are in a better financial position than they were two years ago when the first rumbles of Apple potentially buying Sony Pictures came out. At some point, a official Sony executive mentioned that they entire future of the studio would depend on the Emoji movie, they were that bad. Add to that that at that time Apple wasn't aggressive about their streaming service.
Again they're better now, but still not exactly on the best legs. Apple is now serious about their streaming content and will definitely buy a studio, Sony or other, with Sony being the best candidate for their content and massive structure.
So this deal allows for Sony to use him as well in their movies? Does Sony have any input in the next MCU movie also or is that strictly Disney?
It didn't flop. It did critically, but was a box-office success. They got better thanks mostly to the success of Venom and Homecoming, as well as some horror low-budget movies.
Their franchise films are the ones that put the studio in danger and in a rough position. Anything big budget that isn't Spider-Man related has been a bomb, with the exception of Jumanji.
I second this. Personally I’m looking forward to a Sony based Venom /Spider-Man movie more then the next MCU movie but I’m probably in the minority with that. Hearing that Venom and Spider-Man will be on screen together in a hopefully more mature take on the character was the best news of the day for me.
Maybe Disney just needs this extra time that the deal has given them to recoup a bit after purchasing Fox so they can buy up Sony's film division next?
It's what was reported at the time; either he personally took a very low fee or nothing at all. I can't find any sources on it now with the recent news pushing all the old articles down though.
Then you don't get to cry foul if the other person walks away, tbh.and if offering you a well earned raise means i'm out on the street, i love you man, but you ain't getting it.
i think it's unfair to judge sony on past emails of things that never came to pass, and to not account for how far they have come since.
How far have they really come since? Venom was middling, Into The Spider-Verse succeeded in spite of itself while the main suits reportedly wrote it off and put their main attention elsewhere, and now they're floating Madame Web solos. Not enough to win my benefit of the doubt, yet.
