VIDEO : 'Venom' Helps Sony In Fight To Keep 'Spider-Man'

"Venom" is a hit with audiences.
Business Insider reports the film has grossed over $500 million worldwide.
The movie is Sony's first jump back into the Spider-Man universe without Marvel Studios in its corner.
Sony's last Spider-Man movie was "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" in 2014.
Box-office experts agree that the movie's success is no fluke, and is the rebound Sony needed.
---If they consistently make films audiences want to see, Disney will have to buy Sony to get Spider-Man back.--- said Exhibitor Relations senior box-office analyst Jeff Bock.
Sony has multiple Spider-Man projects in development.
A "Venom" sequel is highly likely.
