Why Disney Won't (And Can't) Buy Back Spider-Man

It would is very unlikely that Disney buys back Spider-Man from Sony anytime soon to keep him in the MCU and marvel films forever. Spiderman Far From Home may or may not be the last time that he sits aside the other Avengers but the movie also highlights some of the troubles of the two companies. Both Disney and Sony say they want to keep him in the MCU but there's a catch. This is a look at the push and pull for Spiderman.

Is Spider-Man the greatest video game hero of all time? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn2tdal4bKyNm5Y

[@meh-ng7du]

I have a question why does'nt sony make a new deal

[@reflex9238]

You were wrong on the initial part of the deal Marvel and Sony made. The deal that made it so that Sony would have to make a new Spider-Man movie every 5 years wasn't until around 2009 after Disney bought Marvel that Sony had to make a new Spider-Man movie every 5 years. There are conflicting sources with who went to who for this deal, as some people say that it was Disney that offered Sony, others say it was Marvel, and the same with Sony. At around that time Sony wasn't doing too good, so the deal was renegotiated so they would get back the merchandising rights, and the TV productions. I only know this because of the fact that Spectacular Spider Man couldn't be continued because Sony had lost the TV production rights when the deal was renegotiated. In short words Sony had it all with no issues before 2009, and only afterwards did they have restrictions on the movie deals.

[@cookeymonster83]

Spiderman isn't a video game hero though. He's a comic book hero. You wouldn't call Mario a comic book hero since there are Super Mario comics would you?

Now it might continue and if they fail again. That might be just the last we'll see Spidey for a very long time. They had a sure thing with Marvel. They make billions for Sony. Even with the 30%. It would've been both financially and creatively more successful if they had taken the deal. Think about it like this. If they fail their next movie and it gets let's say... 500 million dollars. That will be the end. And no one has asked Sony to give away anything. The deal was fair to both parties. Sony sold their toy rights to Disney years ago so that's not the fault of Disney.

Too many people are seeing Sony as the “Villian” in this situation. In my opinion, Disney is the villian.

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

How is Disney the "villain" by offering to reduce Sony's burden on the front end - the production cost? Right now - or at least under the previous agreement with Marvel - Sony pays 100% of productions costs and gets 95% of the return. They're literally giving away 5% of their profit for nothing. Yes, Disney is asking for 50% of the box office, but that's AFTER putting up 50% of the production cost. Look at the numbers: Say the next movie cost $200 million to produce and market and makes $800 million at the box office. The studio gets (roughly) half of the box office (because movie theatres really do get to keep part of that money, ya know), so that's $400 million. It takes $200 million just to recoup the investment, to get back to zero, so that leaves Sony with $190 profit on an investment of $200 million. That's a multiplier of 0.95. They made 95 cents profit for every dollar they invested. It's not a loss, but it's not great. Now, under the same situation, with the deal Disney offered, Sony spent $100 million out of pocket. They get the same $400 million from the box office, split in half with Disney, leaving them with $200 million. $100 million to get back to zero, and $100 million in profit. Yes, the actual profit number is lower, but so was the investment. It's a 1.0 multiplier - they make 1 full dollar of profit for every dollar they invested. In business, this is called "return on investment," and while the raw dollars make better headlines, ROI makes for happier stockholders. But sure, forget the actual numbers. Disney's just the bad guy.

@@osha_t4 If you think Sony NEEDS these movies to make money, I'd posit you don't understand the scale of Sony as a corporation.Their movie studio is actually one of the smallest branches of their corporate empire. Sony Pictures Entertainment - which includes not only movies, but television, video games, mobile games, etc - makes around $9-10 billion revenue a year (a very rough search shows $9.13 billion in FY 2017). Sony Corporation, as a whole, is reporting an expected 8.67 trillion yen in revenue, which is roughly $81 billion in current conversion. That means the SPE money is about 1/8th of the total income of the company as a whole. Sony is a MASSIVE company. The movies (and television, and games) are some fun little side-action they run, but it is not crucial to their corporate welfare to have these movies be hits. You want more proof?

Indeed, I'm still optimistic for Sony to go forward, and this is coming from someone in the minority that loves the TASM movies; I just been feeling that the character has been lacking seriousness in his stories, like there's no high stakes, no ground tone, no sacrifices, it just feels a bit too lighthearted, and yes Spider-Man is a lighthearted character, but with tough and serious consequences that teach him the problems of life, and I just haven't seen that in quite a long time

[@awesomesharkhand1876]

I'm not optimistic. It was clear that Spider Verse was originally Sony's attempt to milk a franchise, making an animated Spider-Man movie hoping that it would sell because of little kids. The only reason Spider Verse worked was because of the higher ups not interfering with Lord and Miller and the rest of team because it was a animated kids movie with Spider-Man that Sony thought would sell itself. Now look at what they're doing. Venom 2 is going full steam ahead, releasing next year, but we have no word on what's going to happen with Spider Verse 2. Plus, Sony has stated they wanted to milk Spider Verse as well, hoping to do even more spin offs. They're going to make a third and fourth Spider-Man movie with Tom Holland. This shows they never cared about the fans or storytelling, only about how to get the brand to make money. They aren't going to give directors creative freedom. They didn't do that for Spider-Man 3, Amazing Spider-Man 1&2, Venom, and MIB International. A lot of the stuff Sony puts out that the studio is actually heavily involved with does not do well. Plus Tom Rothman and Avi Arad are the worst.

I know the fans pay the price, but don't tell that to Sony, tell it to Disney. If they "cared" about them, they wouldn't have asked for so much from a studio who needs Spider-Man as much of Sony. Asking for a co-finance is basically lending ownership of the IP they rightfuly bought, so that's a no-go for any studio.

[@ivangabriel4868]

@The Archangel I'm no Sony chill or anything like that. In recent years they've been subpar on so many movies. But I gotta side with them here. Allowing Disney 25%, in business/accounting terms, equals giving them significant influence over their IP. Not just creatively, business wise too. Allowing Disney to have a 50% co-finance means they would have equal control of the character, without paying a cent outside of half the production cost of the movies. And don't forget, this would also apply to the "Venom-Verse movies". Nobody's talking about this, but Disney saw that Sony made $851M with Venon and suddenly wanted a piece of that cake too.

[@ivangabriel4868]

@The Archangel I think, with the amount of success Sony's had with their movies, they should grant Disney a bigger percentage than just 5%. But to take such a leap to 25% (which Sony apparently counter-offered eventually), let alone 50% and on top of that a co-finance, which grants Disney partial ownership of Spider-Man, is just to much IMO.

[@ivangabriel4868]

@The Archangel Agree with you there. We have brought up several possible solutions. I think we should I should be clear, here, I'm not excusing Sony, I just think Disney is more to blame here. Also, as great as those alternatives are (the ones you said), I don't think Disney would budge on them.

[@ivangabriel4868]

Either way, I think these two companies are still negotiating behind the scene. Most like than not, Sony will end up doing Holland's Spider-Man 3 without MCU support. But since they hired the writters from Homecoming and Far From Home, they'll probably make a film that could be tide later to the MCU, and probably characters like Venom, Morbious and Kraven, who I suspect will be the villain for the next movie. Hopefully a deal could be reached then.

You said it yourself: It would create a monopoly and monopolies are ALWAYS bad for consumers, or in this case, fans. Maybe short term we get some crap movies, but long term it ensures a diverse marketplace of ideas. Disney is getting so damn greedy and everyone is starting to say it out loud, more often, every day. They are depending on the goodwill they've built with us, as childen (think about that), to carry them through every predatory financial attack they attempt. That goodwill is starting to run out. Uncle Disney is gonna be invitied to less BBQs, less family functions, and be talked about behind His back until eventually, the next generation have an entirely different concept of WHAT Disney IS. And it won't be anything close to what we thought of when we heard the word 'Disney' growing up.
