Earlier than diving deep into Sony’s success, it is necessary to acknowledge that the corporate now not owns the rights to Spidey’s merchandise, promoting it again to Marvel in 2011. By way of how a lot the Sam Raimi-led movies made on the field workplace, these figures are over $2.5 billion — the movies price below $600 million primarily based on their reported manufacturing finances. This does not account for advertising and marketing and different bills. Seeing because the studio paid $7 million for the rights, they most likely made their a reimbursement with the discharge of Tobey Maguire’s first “Spider-Man.”
With Maguire and Raimi’s period achieved, the studio greenlit a reboot with Marc Webb within the director’s chair and Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker. The 2 “Wonderful Spider-Man” movies made $1.4 billion collectively, with budgets of $420 million. “The Wonderful Spider-Man 2” generated round $70 million in revenue for the studio. Webb’s movies notably weren’t as profitable, critically and financially, as earlier entries, compelling Sony Footage to staff up with Marvel Studios for Tom Holland’s take.
Sony and Disney’s deal has been revised, however the preliminary phrases noticed the Home of Mouse solely receiving 5% of the primary greenback gross for the solo “Spider-Man” movies set within the MCU. The “Dwelling” trilogy set within the MCU grossed practically $4 billion, making it probably the most worthwhile live-action Spidey franchise. In 2017, “Homecoming” made north of $200 million in revenue, whereas “Far From Dwelling” introduced in some $339 million. “No Method Dwelling,” the final theatrical “Spidey” entry, is alleged to have made $610 million. These numbers are inspiring contemplating Sony wasn’t instantly offered on Holland as Spider-Man.
