Acording to recent News, Sony Corporation reported having A net income of only $205 million this quarter which was a 70% drop from the last quartet, This means that Sony Pictures was also affected in this big drop in company revenues. In fact, Sony Pictures lost $103 milion for the month of april, This was mainly because of the low sales of the mobile and semiconductor sector of the company but due to this, All of the other groups were somehow affected. This means Sony may not even afford to keep Spider-Man much longer, They may have to sell the character off, When this happens, Guess who's going to be in line to get Spider-Man? There is no such thing as "affording" involved in here. Sony got a deal with Marvel years ago and as long as they release new movies and pay some royalties out of them to Marvel - they're good. Same goes for Fox. Homecoming comes out July 2017. If Spider-Man contract is similar to Fox ones, then Sony's good with the web-slinger till 2024.

Now, if Sony is done as a company, then its properties could go up for sale. Then again, although the corporation did have some problems, it's not really collapsing. As of today it's still on track Sony's movies haven't been doing well recently [http:// https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=newssearch&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwiOks_c18TQAhUENo8KHcySBlcQqQIIGigAMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.hollywoodreporter.com%2Fnews%2Fsony-feels-more-ghostbusters-pain-due-finance-partners-exit-943529&usg=AFQjCNGBMXqBXJDMNtyzK-a33Sf2GRLgdQ&sig2=KccPZ5LHWRM8PQw0-pkLUg&bvm=bv.139782543,d.c2I with Sony's partner LSC Film.
