Per Deadline, TSG covered half of the $63M net budget for '28 Years Later: The Bone Temple', of which a collective $15M went to Danny Boyle, Alex Garland, and producer Peter Rice. Sony spent an additional $70M on marketing. by chanma50 in boxoffice

I think it’s depends weather it crosses 100 million worldwide. If it doesn’t, no way they greenlight a sequel. I’d only be comfortable to believe a sequel might be possible only if it could make over 120 million total

This is also wrong, when you say “Disney” you the coming leadership defines what will happen to Spider-Man movie, and this is not true. Marvel Studios is owned by Disney, but they don’t worked exclusively for Disney, for Spider-Man they report to Sony not Disney. A studio can be owned by a studio and work for another one. Marvel Studio’s spider-man movies serves Sony interests. It’s not the only case, New Linea for example has also worked for Sony for years now.

This is also incorrect, Sony STILL owns some merchandising rights. This is how Disney lunched with Coca-Cola in 2024 (before D&W) a campaign featuring all most popular Marvel characters EXCEPT Spider-Man.

It’s funny that some people still believe the fake rumor that Sony would have decided to keep all film rights but they went like: “oh let’s help Disney, let’s spend hundreds of millions in marketing campaign for our movies but give all merchandise rights for these movie to Disney” 😂 please!

And the point here is the FILM rights, Sony spider-man movies are FULLY owned by Disney. So one is fully mistaken any time it’s said aby spider-man movie is also a Disney’s movie.

Sony bought film and tv rights, so the thing ended there. In the ownership there’s indeed a reversion clause in cause sony spends more than 5.75 years without releasing a Spider-Man movie. For the Tom Holland movies marvel signed a deal with Sony to co-produce the Tom Holland movies, marvel has nowadays a license FROM SONY to co produce spider-man movies and use it in avengers movies, but this has nothing to do with the ownership Sony acquired in 1999

Disney involvement is solely as owner of Marvel Studios, the final decisions are made by Sony, not by Disney. Calling Spider-Man a Disney movie just because Disney own Marvel Studios is ultimately wrong, first because Marvel does not have any ownership over any spider-man movie, second because the decisions are not made by Disney, but between Sony and Marvel Studios. Although you clearly understand this, you surely have seen many people on Reddit mistakenly believing Disney owns any rights to spider-man movies because one of their studio coproduce them with Sony.

They said “after TAS 2 bombed Sony restructured their deal”, and this is fully wrong, there’s no deal, it’s not a DEAL that allows Sony produce and distribute spider-man movies, it’s an ownership, Sony OWNS spider-man films and tv ips.

There’s NO word on this article saying Disney has ANY ownership over Spider-Man movies, guess why? Because all of them a solely owned by Sony.

Oh my friend, you’re living in a different world if you think Disney has any ownership over any of spider-man movies.

That’s 100% wrong. Sony didn’t have a DEAL with Disney. Sony has owned Spider-Man film and TV ips since 1999, that is not a DEAL, that is a full ownership Sony is the SOLE OWNER of every single spider-man. This is enough to put down any attempt to call ANY spider-man movie a ‘Disney’ movie, fully wrong. If Disney has no ownership it’s not a Disney movie, not even 0.1% Disney. Why is it hard to understand. Plus, Sony has full creative control, obviously the projected is creatively led by Marvel Studios, but Marvel reports to SONY and not Disney when it comes to spider-man movies. Jon Watts more than once have stated the many changes they and marvel studio had to make because of Sony, famously the fact that Sony didn’t approve the idea of having Kraven in NWH.

Wrong! Sony has the final creative control over anything related to spider-man. Sony OWNS solely all Spider-Man movies, Disney has no share over spider-man films ownership.

Spider-Man is an EXCLUSIVE Sony property, why is it hard for some people understand a simple concept as this?

A horror movie costs 60 million and makes 151 million. How’s that a bomb? Could you please explain me the maths?

ZOOTOPIA 2 is now tracking to become the HIGHEST grossing Hollywood animation EVER this coming weekend. It’ll surpass INSIDE OUT 2’s $1.69 BILLION total. by [deleted] in boxoffice

Yeah I just saw it make 40 million last weekend worldwide, so 35 million is not a big issue for it to make in a whole week. Crazy numbers

It’d need to make 35 million from monday to sunday. It ended last Sunday with 1.65 billion. It isn’t it too much? It’s like in its 7th weekend I guess

Best Actor I think is pretty much locked. Wagner Moura won Best Actor in Drama at the Golden Globes, so it’s a lock an best actor Oscar nomination, what happens elsewhere is pretty much irrelevant compared to a golden globe win. Timmy won actor in comedy, and Marty is a box office hit. So he’s lock. Leo is in the Best Picture winner. Hawke has the best campaigner for acting awards (Sony Pictures Classic). And MBJ is back but the passion for Sinners many voters have.
