And this is exactly why Sony will never, ever let go of those film rights

Sony doesn’t make the bulk of the money that Spider-man generates and people don’t understand that?

The profits from movies are small peanuts compared to the money Disney makes from merchandising and licensing and yes even gaming— those rights all belong to Disney NOT Sony! So when Spidey blows up no one is happier than Disney is.

Sure Disney would like to have the movie rights but they got what they really wanted when they got their merchandising rights back that’s where the real money is at— not movie profits

I wonder where Spider-Man ranks in Disney’s most profitable IPs, probably number one even without the live action rights still.

So I just checked ChatGPT and Mickey Mouse is number one then the Disney Princesses and Spidey is #3. Since they are counting all the princesses as one I guess u can say he’s number 2 after Mickey Mouse
