Well if you account for inflation the Ramai Spider-Man movies were probably making $1Bill in today's terms. Then look at even without Spidey this would make somewhere in the region of 1.3-1.5Bill.
That's the major advantage of doing Solo films first Golgo.
Not sure if TASM2 will have any kind of negative impact on Spider-Man'sgoodwill though. But I reckon the GA have had enough SM solo films and wanted the character in something like this now.
