Following a request from the Chinese authorities, Sony refused to remove the footage of the Statue of Liberty from Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Sony ultimately rejected the request, resulting in Chinese authorities preventing the latest Spider-Man film from being released in the biggest film market in the world. According to reports, the film lost a potential $170 million-$340 million in sales from China.
