Disney+ Marvel's Black Widow

The fact she made $20m for this mediocre film that bombed, and still wants to sue is a bad look

Clearly she's just bitter that she had the first Marvel flop, and wants to blame Disney+ instead of the pandemic.

Johansson’s team says she may have missed out on over $50 million in pay from the streaming move while Disney says Premier Access “significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20M she has received to date.”

A potential 50 million is a lot. Hell, a potential 20 million would be a lot

ScarJo's team thinks the movie would have earned more all theatrical. Disney saying she earned more by doing both.

Like I said before, absent Disney streaming it to push subscriptions, I'm trusting Disney on that decision. This is what they do.

They are still a business and profits for them come first.

Its no way she was filed this if she made more money by letting them stream at the same time it was in theaters. That makes NO SENSE

Nobody knows what would have made more money though. I'm sure Disney has some fancy statistical models and statisticians that said both is better, one way or another, or they wouldn't have done it the way they did.

And you right, profits do come first, which is why I was saying either Disney thought they'd make more on BW by doing both, or just for Disney by doing both via more subscribers.

Disney was gon make what they make regardless but by releasing on D+ and Theaters she made less and they made more without paying her a big amount

I think the calculation is much more complicated then either of us are willing to hash out here. A lot of variables would go into that calculation.

Either way, we know Disney's calculations were best for Disney, but we don't know if they were also best for Black Widow and in turn ScarJo's pockets.

Please explain the bold. How was Disney going to make the same amount regardless of how the movie was released?

I don't think BW boosted their subscribers like that. It's not like subscribers didn't have to pay an additional $30 to watch the movie.

I think he's saying Disney was going to make money regardless of the platform.

Maybe not, but at minimum it's like advertising. You can spend $75 at the movies or pay $30 plus a months subscription to watch it at home.

Most will cancel, but a lot might like the service and just keep it. And some will forget to cancel and let it rock for a while.
 
I just don't think the movie was that highly anticipated and Disney did what they thought would bring them the most profit. Whether what they did was in breach of the contract or not, I have no idea. But I'll always assume that a corporation is trying to make all the money they can.
