Salt boys gonna stay salty but if she had a contract and they breached it, then fuck Disney. Really eye-opening seeing the posters so far in here defending THE EVIL LIBTARD WOKE HOLLYWOOD DISNEY which they hate so much. I'm sure you would all love to be cucked by your employer and have your contract completely ignored and possibly losing millions of dollars. Probably the type of dudes to work off the clock when their boss asks them to stay.

If she was promised in writing that they would renegotiate upon changes to the release plan, then she's got a point. A legal case? I don't know, but she'd definitely be right to claim having been wronged.

My bad, I didn't see the part where her contract specifically stated exclusivity to theaters upon release. So yeah she has a case then. I just thought her contract gave her a cut of the box office and she was pissed that Disney released it on Disney+ thinking that it wasn't in her contract that it was exclusive to theaters.

How? there is a contract the company had to follow. If your company has a contract which states you will get X commission, and they screw it for you, I believe you would do the same. So it is better for Disney to keep the extra money?

There is no way that 50 million dollar figure is grounded in reality. They must be doing something dumb like base the figure off endgame numbers. Still, that seems like a strong case for SOME recourse.

It's based on 5 of the last 6 movies making over 1 billion and 3 of the last 9 movies making over 800 million.

The article literally lists multiple times where she or her staff reached out to Disney prior to the release.

Depends on which way you want to go:
"Rich, privelidged white woman demands fifty million dollars from racially and LGBTQ+ diverse company that employs thousands of minorities"
Or
"Massive billion dollar media conglomerate refuses to pay employee because she is a woman"

companies fall back on covid for everything, Disney being cunts again. we know it was an unprecedented event but over a year and a half, using emotive language to make it seem raising a dispute as unreasonable

Did you even read the article or are you just trolling?
She's going to court over breach of contract based on how she agreed to be paid, which was a percentage of what it made in theatres; Disney cut that to shreds putting it on their streaming platform and should pay her more based on that.
"She's rich enough" is a ridiculous mindset and you're acting like she should have done this movie for free.
There is a valid point to be made and she deserves the rightful compensation for her work.

That 15 Million is not all up front. Some of the money is contingent on box office performance which is similar to older contracts of chris evans, hemsworth. She literally didn't talk about this during promotion of the film, which shows professionalism.
Disney did this on purpose as a way to get more money upfront, but in doing so it breaches the contract.
Disney fucked her over.

She was already paid $20M.

I'm not defending Disney, but I also don't support greed. Technically she might be right, but morally she got more than enough compensation. Especially when considering that she's one of the best paid people in Hollywood because she got the chance to star in these movies.
That's the difference between positivism and a naturalistic definition of justice.
Am I reading that right? Disney played the paid in exposure card on...Scarlett Johansson?
Also of note - Scarlett is listed as Executive Producer on this movie - that may mean her deal with Disney may be more complicated. It may not be exactly as simple as her being just an actress on this film.

Nah, if she earned that money then give it to her. However, I realize corporations are people too and the right and moral thing for Disney to do would be to decide, after the fact of signing a contract, that she shouldn't get the money because she's already earned too much.

There are millions of whiny 5-year olds on Earth, and I AM THEIR KING.
When has she carried a movie to box office success?
The best grossing movie in which she was the key character before this was Lucy and that shit tanked hard.
Just accept your don’t have the pull to surpass Gal Gadot and move on with your life.
One actress plays Wonder Woman, the other one plays a character that was made for the purpose of not calling The Avengers an all macho show.

It’s probably like most actors contacts. Reach a sales goal and get a bonus. I’ve never seen one that paid a percentage of a ticket. If those goals could not be realistically be reached do to a pandemic than Disney has the right to do as they please. It was a pro consumer move which we all should applaud. But simps going to simp.

Disney's business decisions, white asian robot woman and simpness aside
the point is about an employee challenging the employer on agreed payment. it's a principle both parties should behave reasonably, acting as expected and follow the agreement. nobody has seen the contract so all we can do is the specdilation.

The legitimacy of her claim non-withstanding... I am sick to fucking death of seeing people who are already unbelievably wealthy engage in this kind of chiseling.
I hope it costs both parties lots of that precious money that is so precious to them.

Yes, she should get what her agreement states. That said, I don't think anyone is worth the amount of money these people make, even when they get screwed over.

hmm, I was thinking she still was locked into a previous contract. But that makes sense. 20 Mill is a lot.
Wonder if she gave a shit or her laywers did?

Irrelevant.
If her contract says exclusive theatrical release then that's what she should have got.

Yes, By default Disney are the worst and I love seeing people stick it to them!
I think what gets me is posters who just see rich people as rich people who should be happy because they're rich. Just because the poster would be absolutely delighted with anything past 10000 dollars a sense of bitterness comes through when discussing the wealthy.
No.... believe it or not they are people too and if they got fucked over on a contract they have the right to sue. Just like us mere mortals have a right to dispute an issue in our own work contracts. Or dispute any time when we feel we've been ripped off.
I'm sure people will fall for the " wahhh covid" response but please.. be a little more intelligent than that... Leave that to Twitter and Facebook comments.
Of I was Disney I would have said the exact same thing as them. It's smart deflection.
