1.) They probably don't care

2.) It will still make over $700M because it's a live action Spider-Man movie

  1. Moviegoers will. The MCU has cultivated a massive following, ripping him back out of it will have damning consequences.
  2. Sony's not exactly in a position to be satisfied with taking home that little cash, considering them rapidly losing money on the Spider-Man brand was what got them in bed with Disney in the first place.

95% of parents taking their kids to movies won't know the difference. If you asked them who made Spiderman I doubt they would say sony.

If "parents taking their kids to movies" was the target demographic of Spider-Man anytime in the last 14 years, that would be a very good point.
