Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures recently came to an agreement regarding Spiderman and his related characters. Would a question about that agreement, including details on who owns what and how each party can use the character, be on topic?
The tour of the site claims that "Behind-the-scenes and fandom information" questions are on-topic, but I thought it would be best to check here first.
As you've noted, the tour states:
Ask about...
- Plot, character, or setting explanations
- Historical or societal context of a work
- Behind-the-scenes and fandom information
- Story identification
- Franchise/series reading or viewing order
(emphasis mine).
I think this should fall under "behind-the-scenes and fandom information" and should therefore be on topic, provided that you ask about its impact on the franchise / canon. (In other words, questions about how much money went where should be off topic).
