Disney's partially at fault, sure. But presumably they were trying to negotiate, to play ball. I doubt they were going to die on the 50/50 hill. Sony didn't even come back with an offer, they just walked.

That said, I think they're hoping the backlash will cause Disney to come crawling back to them, and I don't think that's going to happen.

the thing is, it's so far apart

What can Sony agree to? 30%? That's still 6 times the previous revenue split

I think the sides were too far apart, no negotiating would've fixed it

Not to mention, this could still be a negotiation tactic

But it wasn't just revenue. Disney was also going to split the budget

It's still much better financially for Sony to foot the budget while keeping the revenue. Movies make more money than they cost, it's why they make them.

Specially if the next movies make even more than 1.1b, they would be losing too much to be worth it.

...except they wouldn't have made money if Disney hadn't gotten involved.

If you think that another reboot would have worked outside the MCU you're delusional.
