I thought I was the only one who didn’t think that much of endgame I thought both those films were meh and some of the things they did were just plain wrong/didn’t make sense!I'm not that into marvel these days and still think endgame wasn't all that
I agree good on her for making a stand, I don’t see the issue with it personally she’s seeking what she thinks she is owed.Disney has come out swinging, calling her 'callous' and playing the covid card. Callous for wanting her contract to be honoured? Reeks of sexism to me. They'd never openly insult the likes of RDJ or Hemsworth if they went legal.
But the problem is not that her contract wasn't honnored. But that in the post covid world it didn't anticipate that it would be released to streaming meaning her contract isnt as lucrative as anticipated.Disney has come out swinging, calling her 'callous' and playing the covid card.

If her contract stated that the movie was to be released in theatres before streaming, and it wasn't honoured, then she has a case. She apparently went back to Disney and offered to renegotiate and they blanked her, which is why she's had to go legal. WB has had to renegotiate all their deals with talent for the same reason, the difference being that they are voluntarily (albeit after some pushing!) paying out.But the problem is not that her contract wasn't honnored.

I think they'd insult anyone who was unlikely to ever have another film with them again.
The base deal was 15million apparently before any of the bonuses and if no one streamed or watched it would still get that.
All depends on how the contract is worded. But she'll need to donate the winnings to feeding America or something to come out of this looking good.
We just don't know the intricacies of it all and the clauses in the contracr, we sadly probably won't as they'll settle.If her contract stated that the movie was to be released in theatres before streaming, and it wasn't honoured, then she has a case.

Disney look far worse here. It's a business deal. Turning it into a personal attack and attaching morals to it is bizarre and unprofessional.
Have to agree. Don’t make out she’s unsympathetic taking on a billion dollar corporation if they’ve breached contract. They’re not going to suffer…Disney has come out swinging, calling her 'callous' and playing the covid card. Callous for wanting her contract to be honoured? Reeks of sexism to me.

This exactly, it's going to be incredibly difficult to show that all those that streamed it would have gone to the cinema during covid.Thing is, if she was due some sort of box office share then I don't see how if it had been released in cinemas only she would have been better off. Many are closed worldwide and many people are still staying home. They made 60million streaming, which when you factor that's pure profit for disney with no cinema fees its actually worth more.
I've read conflicting reports and as mentioned no one knows ins and outs of the contract, but I'd say streaming saved the film financially. Should she be entitled to a share of the streaming money? Maybe, but not sure she's owed 50million of it.
She did get away with taking the sodastream cash over her humanitarian work - ditching that vanity project the first time it affected her earnings.I can see this potentially backfiring against her with members of the public.
