It's my understanding that her pay was based on ticket sales, so if she feels shorted due to people streaming vs. going into the theater, Disney should pony up some money for her.

She has the right to get that money and Disney broke a pretty strong bond between them

Scarlett was totally underpaid for the movie. Her acting was amazing, and she played the role perfectly. Disney did not pay her fairly, especially because this was her sendoff from Marvel.

Disney took advantage of their actors through a minor loophole in the contract (the success of Disney+ had not been anticipated when the contract was signed), and if the real reason that Black Widow was on Disney+ early was COVID then it would have cost the same as theater tickets, not 3x more.

For me it's not about the money. It's about disney breaking her contract. I feel that she's sueing because she's so big she can totally afford it but the smaller actors and actresses can't. I think she's doing it so they can't get away with doing it to smaller people.

Because they screwed her by releasing it that way. Theaters first, let it run, then tv. It's the way it's always been done, except when you're trying to screw over your top talent.

because it wasn’t in her contract and she lost like 50 mil or something from them premiering it on Disney plus at the same time as in theaters. Plus she waited over a decade for her characters movie just for some shitty stuff like this to happen. I’m 100% on scarletts side no doubt.

Team Scarlett because she got under paid, breached contract, and lots of people don’t like black widow. But I’m here to say I am a black widow fan I like her and she sacrificed herself to save half the universe. And did not even get a funeral scene in endgame. How disappointing

Disney is a huge company who abuses their workers and is trying to monopolize the film industry, I will never be on their side. Also, IATSE is going on strike right now against streaming services, it’s a problem in the industry in general. Johansson is in the right.

First off, she gave them the option the redeem themselves and keep it silent. She just wanted her rightful earnings. But NO INSTEAD Disney decided to just push it off as if a women as powerful as her wouldn’t come back at them. 60 million is NOTHING to Disney. And you guys couldn’t? Shame.

Disney back-doored her by releasing it on demand due to Covid and not giving her a percentage. Should have cut her in or delayed the release as Tom Cruise did with his last 2 movies.

In an environment where COVID is a concern for people at high-risk, it would make sense for Disney to generously pay Scarlett for streaming revenues. She upped Marvel value by billions and was very dedicated every step of the way. Common Disney, show a little heart.

They could have done exactly what they are doing for Shang Chi or renegotiated the contract. Instead, her reps were stonewalled, the box office tanked due to pirating, and she lost a fortune. Also, it's a known fact that China will not show movies from other countries in July.

They had a contract, it was for theatrical release and that's their base pay. Not just hers they've to pay EVERYONE involved in the movie and making of the movie. By releasing to Disney premiere they lost what they earned. Disney should fork over profits Disney should wait a mont to release any film

Honestly it's more the principle than the money. Disney is trying to portray her as money-hungry when in fact the opposite is true. Disney is being a bully.

Disney needs to remember who & how they got to where they are at. W/O these people, they have a challenging product. Plus, a contract is only as good as it is honored by both parties. Disney has not lived up to their end of the contract but belittling Scarlett & saying it is because of COVID-19 😔

She deserves the money 💯 percent and I think it’s absolutely outrageous that Disney isn’t paying her the amount she requires. It’s disgusting how Disney treats women and I think she hasn’t gotten enough credit for her incredibly amazing acting skills and she’s just awesome! SHE DESERVES THE MONEY!

It was in her contracts that the movie would have only a theatrical release. Disney didn’t honor that so she has the right to sue. Not to mention how poorly Disney has been treating this whole thing. Scarlett’s in the right.

It’s her right to file a lawsuit against Disney and all. Sure, the new movie, “Black Widow” wasn’t as successful as you guys think it is, but it is a good movie! Scarlett Johansson deserves better, and we’ll always be there for her and to support her throughout her journey! Best of luck to Scarlett!

I voted for Scarlett because, it’s her own movie thats about her, especially since she’s not getting paid enough, and since Disney+ released it, she won’t make as much, because when people go to the cinemas to see the movie she would make more in box office.

Legal precedent has already been set with Gal Godot and others where contracts were correctly and ethically updated to increase their income due to lost ticket sales vs simultaneous streaming. Disney didn’t even try to renegotiate in good faith. ScarJo income was based of ticket sales. Hope she wins

I feel like a large condition of her being willing to costar in so many films was that she would eventually get a standalone film and be able to reap the benefits of the box office as a lead. I hope she gets what she deserves.

I choose Disney because people at home who are positive of Covid-19 and they can't go anywhere and movie theater for two weeks. Kevin Feige and Scarlett Johansson are a big mistake and they haven't thought about other people who are stayed at home from positive Covid-19 in two weeks.
