This certainly warms my heart! Thank you @Sony!
Iger also thanks Sony for remaining at the table and discussing the fact negotiations have been ongoing behind the scenes.
It is said the new Spider-Man deal gives Disney a larger share of the box office. Sony still gets 75% of the film’s box office receipts, whilst Disney will get 25% and contribute 25% of the budget.
