Yep, although I think Sony's CEO has said they are gonna make sure that won't happen but who knows? Comcast wants to feed.
Nope, just made it to look like the ones you see in MCU films.
Part of me hopes that Sony backs out of the deal, just to watch that decision backfire on them.
The Furious Spider-Man
Which is faster? A web slinger or a muscle car on NOS. Find out this summer.
No, but this is:
Just kidding :v
That's for Venom 2: Máximum Carnage

All dat Venom money goes to Sony as well. It's most likely just a Sony pride thing from the Sony execs that they can make successful Spidey films without the MCU.

Venom cinematic universe here we come

Lol, you are actually making this arguement in the same year we're getting 2 non MCU Spidey films. Sony doesn't care that they'll make more money with a MCU Spidey film. Their first fuck MCU Spidey film had a 80m opening weekend. Into the Spider-Verse should do a lot better critically than Venom. If anything this a win-win for them since they have 3 films they get money from instead of just one they would get from the MCU released one.

Disney should have just gave Sony the 4 or 5 billion they wanted for the Spidey rights.
Now we're gonna get the greenlight on a Venom trilogy and Spider-Man character spinoffs without Spider-Man. Oh joy.

I really don't see Sony ending it's MCU deal and staring a 3rd standalone Spiderman / Venom universe having to probably look for a new actor to play Spiderman with also losing out on having MCU characters in their movie. Having 3 tent pole Spiderman Universe (MCU Spider man Animated movie and Venom universe) is the way to go.
I'm all in on Universal/Sony Pictures merging.
Creates a solid #2 behind Disney and a monstrous TV side.
For those saying that the deal will be extended. Disney needs the deal less than Sony does. That is time they can focus on all of the new properties that they are gaining.
Sony on the other hand have their hands tied with regard to movie decisions and if they can create their own successful universe and FFH still can't crack $1bn, it's just easier for them to do their own thing.
Opening Weekend.
Here's a list for the past few weeks:

Seeing What Women Want on that list makes me want to burn Paramount to the ground. And Mel Gibson.CRA is gonna break into top 5 Rom Coms of all time
Ugh. Didn't want the movie to do well but it's not far off from my BO prediction (mine was $78 million)
I am enjoying this salt to be honest. Bring on Venom II Sony!
The idea of Will Smith playing that character at 50 is much harder to consider than at 37 haha.
Only if they give me Spider-Man 2099.
One day someone on the Spider-Man side will hear me. One day.
... Or WB with Batman Beyond. If I have to memoryman this into existence, I will.
I'm pretty sure Disney has to pay Sony 3.5% of the BO gross for Venom as well. So yeah, Sony did well here with what seems to be a mediocre film. SS part 2.
We should start seeing predictions for that around the end of the month.
A star is born will probably have better longer term holds, but in comparison it's pretty limited (and regional) in its appeal and has opened half as high. I don't see them flipping except when thesifference amounts to relative pocket change.
Sony would be foolish not to release a directors/hardy (to BR/Digital) cut as people are already in love with the film, bad as it is! A Hardy cut when lead to a narrative of 'if you didn't like it theDC cut foxes it!' Like with BvS but there's not near unanimous loathing atplay

Doesn't universal technically still hold the rights to the Hulk?
Pretty much expecting a repeat of ASM2 (or MoS >>> BvS) to play out here now that Sony's gamble in Venom lucked out. The studio puts more money into producing a bigger sequel that sloppily starts/expands their cinematic universe, said sequel backfires with a worse film that doesn't make as much money as they wanted, back to square one.
And I'm sorry, but I'm personally skeptical that with Venom's success, Sony (or at least, Arad and Rothman in particular) will leave the Spider-Man deal with Marvel Studios intact; especially if/when they score another hit with Into the Spider-Verse later this year. Maybe they won't kill the existing deal in its entirety, but I won't be surprised if (more) executive meddling nonsense starts seeping in, now that they are able to have their cake and eat it at the same time.

Eminem did it. So many wankers disappointed cause Venom made bank. Can't keep the big guy down!!
I'll catch it on streaming though.

It's not a good movie, per se. It has a bunch of issues. That said, I'm kind of happy it's doing pretty well. I'd like to see more of Hardy and Venom, but there needs to be a LOT of work done.
