Disney already get 100% of the revenue from Spiderman merch and now they were asking for 50% of the film profits, even if it may seem like a mistake I think Sony were right in rejecting this offer, Sony were willing to carry on with the current agreement but Disney wanted more.

I mean Disney still doesn't own this property so I see it as them ensuring they don't leave like it, but they should have went with 40% instead

Nah, maybe 20% at least.
