Little Rough Math.
FFH Budget: 160Mil (+Marketing 280Mil) = 440Mil
Gross Return: 380 (Domestic) + 730 (Foreign) = 1.11Bil
Domestic Revenue Split - 60/40 (228/152 Sony/Theaters)
International Revenue Split - 35/65 (292/438 Sony/Globe)
Disney's Current Take: 5% (of 520Mil) = 26Mil +ownership of all merchandise rights
Sony's Net Revenue: 520 - 26 - 440 = 54Mil
Disney's Offer: 50% Co-Finance (NOT Marketing costs)
Using the 50/50 split on FFH, Disney would put up 80M to Sony's 360M.
Notice how not one article has details on what Disney wants in return? Because it's way beyond 5%.
Disney needs Spidey because RDJ and Evans are gone. Because Lady Thor and Eternals have a very good chance of being bleh.
Disney wants to own Spidey without having to pay Sony for Spidey's rights or incur the marketing costs. Offer Sony 1Bil and they'll sell Spidey by the weekend. But they can't afford to do it after the Fox purchase and streaming ramp-up.
