1.5 billion between 2 movies is barely making bank?
The series also isnt in limbo. They have 4 more movies lined up. How is that limbo?
The box office intake of the films are declining, last film barely cracked $200M domestic
the films are also costing substantially more than the originals did(The Amazing Spider-Man had a larger production and marketing budget than The Avengers) , despite the original intention being to make a series that was cost-effective and cheaper
.The writers have come out and said that the studio is re-evaluating. They evidently don't know where they want to go, the series is laughably reactionary, one film tries to be "dark", "gritty" and imitate Batman Begins, the next film tries to be "bright", "Colourful" and set-up a struggleverse like The Avengers
. Wouldn't surprise me if the next film is titled "Spider-Man vs Venom"
. Sony also sold the merchandising rights to Marvel as they thought these
films would be making Avengers level money, hence in the increased budget in the second film. They would have been under Raimi, but that's none of my business tho
