"Spider-Man" did not perform well in 2014, and the box office may not be better than the X-Men, and the reputation is not satisfactory. Going left and right is a problem for the owner Sony!
According to foreign media, the schedule of the superhero movie "The Amazing Spider-Man 3" produced by Sony may be adjusted and will be postponed from June 10, 2016 to 2017.
Foreign media speculated that the reason for the delay was that "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" did not meet Sony's expectations. "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" achieved a global box office of 706 million U.S. dollars, which is not only $60 million less than the previous "The Amazing Spider-Man", but the North American box office may also be the lowest of the five Spider-Man. It is bound to be surpassed by "X-Men: Reversing the Future" which was released later, and "X-Men: Reversing the Future" has achieved a global box office of $622 million in three weeks after its release. Outside of the box office, the film’s reputation is not good, and the film’s bloated structure and villain settings have been widely criticized. These factors have forced Sony to rethink its superhero movie strategy after "The Amazing Spider-Man 2".
Previously, Sony planned to release a movie about Spider-Man every year from 2016, but it seems a bit difficult at the moment, but some people in the industry speculate that it is to make room for the Spider-Man side-by-side movies "Evil Six" and "Venom." It may also be because Mark Webb will shoot a film for Forbes first. In addition, director Mark Webb has made it clear that he will no longer direct after finishing the third part, and Garfield has only signed the third part so far.
For this reason, the "prescription" prescribed by the American media is to cut budgets and set up only one villain. The story should not be so grand, and to continue the warm love story, so that Gwen "resurrected". Optimizing the story structure and characters may not be difficult, but this may not be Sony's most difficult problem, and only such a "Spider-Man" in his hands is the fatal injury.
Director Sam Raimi pointed out in an interview with "Nerdist podcast" a few days ago that the movie "The Amazing Spider-Man" was not made very well, "I tried it, but I don't trust every actor, so This cannot be hidden from fans who like Spider-Man." He felt that as a director, he didn’t like some of the film’s things, so he couldn’t make a movie that the audience would like. Blame the reason for this, and said that these actors will not be asked to do better in the future.
The sequel to "The Amazing Spider-Man" has had many twists and turns. A while ago, Sony Pictures was hacked and confidential letters leaked out. One of them mentioned that Sony Pictures bought the copyright of "Spider-Man" from Marvel in the past and took 3 After the episode, due to a number of factors, the filming was stopped, and the "Andrew Garfield Edition" was revived, and he began to plan to shoot a rumor, hoping that "the plot would become creative and have the marketing leadership in the market." However, Marvel was very dissatisfied and decided to take it back and remake it.
