I know.
Trust me, I’ve seen a LOT of slop on Amazon Prime and Tubi - I’d gladly take the SSU and DCEU movies in a heartbeat over those.
- Comment on Sony Pictures CEO Tony Vinciquerra talks 'arms dealer' strategy, defends 'Spider-Man' spinoffs 3 weeks ago:
How do you feel about the performance of the film studio during your tenure?
We’ve had mostly very, very good results. Unfortunately, [Kraven the Hunter] that we launched last weekend, and my last film launch, is probably the worst launch we had in the 7½ years so that didn’t work out very well, which I still don’t understand, because the film is not a bad film.
If Kraven the Hunter is “not a bad film”, then I’m terrified to see what he considers a bad film.

Look, I don’t know what made-up arguments you’ve been in, but whenever I post online, no one has ever tried to dismiss my experiences as untrue.

They already sold the distribution rights to Ketchup Entertainment. WB can’t write off the movie even if they wanted to.

I think it’s just the 4K.
The Universal Blu-ray appears to have the acene, but I’m not sure about the Arrow release.

Movie budgets usually don’t include the marketing costs, as that information is almost never revealed to the public. But to fins out how much money a film would need to be profitable, a good guess is to multiply the budget by 2.5.
For example, a $100 million film would need to make at least $250 million to break even.
But this isn’t a hard-and-fast rule, as no one can really be certain of the marketing budget.

- Comment on As ‘Kraven’ Hunts for Audience, Sony's Marvel Universe Takes Final Bow for Now | Analysis 5 weeks ago:
I’d be interested in a breakdown of the box office for these films.
Ask and ye shall receive.
- Venom (2018)
- Budget: $100-116 million
- Box office: $856,085,161
- Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
- Budget: $110 million
- Box office: $506,863,592
- Morbius (2022)
- Budget: $75-83 million
- Box office:
$1 morbillion$167,460,961
- Madame Web (2024)
- Budget: $80 million
- Box office: $100,498,764
- Venom: The Last Dance (2024)
- Budget: $120 million
- Box office: $472,812,792
So, in total, Sony spent $485-509 million on all the films, and they have made a combined $2.1 billion.
The highest grossing SSU film was the first Venom movie, and they seem to have been chasing that high ever since. Their lowest-grossing movie (so far) is Madame Web.
So it appears that over time, the SSU movies have been making less and less money with each release (with the exception of Venom 3).

Sony was transparently making minimally viable products to keep the valuable IP rights.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think the SSU movies are part of their contract with Marvel. It only applies to live-action Spider-Man films (in which Spidey is the main character).
Which means that they had no obligation to make these movies, but still chose to do so anyway. They are making these villain spin-offs because they want to, not because they have to.
Just the thought of Sony making completely unnecessary villain movies, not out of any contractual obligation, but because they genuinely believe that they can ride the coattails of the MCU…to me that’s too funny to pass up.

If this is the “best of the trilogy”, then I’d hate to see what the worst is!
(Joking aside, I saw all three movies and love them.)

My guess is they just revealed that he filmed some scenes for the movie. By the time we heard about it, they already completed filming.
