Sony will continue with their spidey cinematic universe, and it's gonna get ugly
They are absolutely right. Sony, make a wise decision. Make the deal with Marvel.
They'll crash and burn. Let them waste more time and money. Before you know it they will shut down their film division and continue to mutilate the company.Sony will continue with their spidey cinematic universe, and it's gonna get ugly
I remember when it first came out that they where going to try to bulid up and do s6 and venom and ever thing I thought they where going to do asm3 first then sinister six then asm4 and then venom or something like that. I think that would have been better that way because if you do asm3 and then sinister six and have sm fight the s6 in asm4 that would give you one more movie to bulid up to the 6 then doing sinister six and then asm3 with the 6 like they may do.
The other problem is I would have never imagined like a year ago that asm2 would only make 708 million ww. Now even if they scatch s6 and just do the s6 in asm3 that is going to give you even less movies to set them up and if they have the s6 in am3 the budget could go up even more to like 300 million. With the way the last 3 sm movies have went asm3 even if they some how do the s6 and it is amazing will probly make less because of the last 3 sm movies. So what you are going to spend 300 million on a movie that ends up making only 650-600 million ww? Ok now even if you do asm3 and just try to make it more of a lone movie so no s6 again and the budget stay at asm2 level of 250 that 708 that asm2 made is still going to probly go down again. So really I don't know if there is a way to make even the same profit that they made form asm2 even if the movie is great.
So did I. It seems like a more natural progression for the series to take. Going from TASM2 right to the sinister six shows that Sony is in a hurry to start it's sad little "cinematic universe." One more film could have been used to introduce another villain and help set up the Sinister Six. Venom should also be coming out much later on after the symbiote is established and Peter acquires it as a costume.
TASM2 made about $700M worldwide on a budget of about $400M (including marketing). It had very little return and is the lowest grossing Spider-Man film to date, not to mention having some of the worst reviews in the franchise.
If TASM3 was the next film coming out then I assume it would be making even less money than the previous movie. You don't even have to assume that Sinister Six will perform poorly: it will. The budget will no doubt be high: you have 6 villains including Doc Ock, Sandman, Green Goblin, and possibly mysterio, all of which require heavy special effects and CGI. Then the studio is going to have to do a lot of marketing to get people to even want to see this movie, so I wouldn't be surprised if the cost of it would be rather close to TASM2. So imagine a movie with an overall budget of approximately $300M and will probably bring in less than $600M WW.
