Did I read that right? I thought someone said that Sony made 1.1 billion on a Spider-man movie that Disney *they themselves made, and Disney wanted more. This doesn't seem accurate.

You read it WRONG :P
Sony made 1.1bn on their own Spiderman movie (we re not talking about avengers or the like here).
Not something disney makes.
Basically Sony does all the hard work, makeing the entire movie, putting in the risk (capital/funding) and production ect.
And disney comes along and says "give us 50%" (or we take away your movie director + wont allow spiderman in MCU movies anymore).
This isnt about the MCU, but the Spiderman movies that Sony themselves make.
Disney wants 50% of the profits sony makes on them..... dispite Sony owning the IP and doing everything themselves for the movie.
Disney is basically bullying them for no reason, when its clear they dont deserve to just magically get 50% of the profits for no reason.
Yet in this thread, you see people writeing "screw sony" ect. and sideing with Disney.

I see where my confusion came from...
Disney saw Sony makeing $1.1bn on their last Spiderman movie and their like "we want half of the next movie you do", if we help you with the director + MCU appearences of Spiderman.
You used "their" to refer to two different subjects in the same sentence, so I inferred that it was Disney's Spiderman movie. :P
Anyways, yeah, it's a shame that the superheroes can't all be together, and it seems like this doesn't bode well for Spidey fans. I don't watch much of the superhero movies but it's still interesting to me nonetheless.
