Because one movie franchise isnt worth a fifth of the entire value of Sony, that why.
$800m... revenue or do you actually think they will make $800m profit annually from Spiderman?
They make little profit from Spiderman movies at the cinema, do some research.
The money is made post cinema, in blu ray/dvd/streaming and TV deals... the margin here is diminishing rapidly.

I figured they made quite a bit on it. I don't know how accurate Wikipedia is, but it says the budget for Amazing Spiderman 1 was 230M, and it made 750M box office. That's not even including the blu ray/dvd sales which, as you say, is where most of the money is made.
Amazing Spiderman 2 has an even smaller budget, at 200M and will most likely make around 500M. Not as much as the first one, it's not being reviewed as well.

I don't know how Kowen got the extra costs, but I will say this. Production Budget typically is only half of the total cost for almost all movies. On top of which, I don't know the share that theatre rakes in from the sales either.
