Well here's one example:

Published rumour has it that Apple is seeking to acquire Sony. If Sony sells, then the Spiderman rights automatically revert back to Marvel, for reasons. Sony is in the dilemma of having to make 7 more Spiderman films to earn $5 billion, or just sell Spiderman back to Disney/Marvel for $5 billion (more than Disney paid for Marvel and Star Wars). Disney can get Spiderman now for $10 billion now, or for nothing if they wait.
