Viewer Question:
Sam Spril - Greetings John & Rob. With regards to Scarlett Johansson's Lawsuit seems like Disney has pushed back giving us a different side to this stating she has been paid $20 million and that discussion were had about the premier access deal with her contract, but if that was the case why would Scarlett Jo even bother with the lawsuit. Is it for more money or something else we are not aware of? Thoughts?

Considering how Disney "handled" the licensing for "Cruella" and screwed over legendary costume designer Jenny Beavan, this debacle with "Black Widow" and Scarlet Johannson is no surprise. Welcome to Chapek's Disney.
Honestly not even surprised, especially with Bob Cheapskate
Emma Stone is apparently considering suing them now as well.
@@michaelsinger4638 Not considering it anymore, she actually is suing them.
Yes
Every Disney fan right now: Um...Bob Iger...can you come back?
Please Mr Iger, you may have been a money grubbing monster but you were at least competent
It's so obvious that 2019 was intentionally built as Disney's peak year (financially). Lion King remake, Endgame, Rise of Skywalker, Toy Story 4, Aladdin... and then in 2020, almost no big movie. Iger wanted to go out on top, and he did.
I know what they make is irrelevant to this lawsuit but damn bruh 20 million fucking dollars seriously bruh.
@@magic75450 and Frozen 2
Just get somebody that is NOT Chaprick!
That spokesperson needs to be fired. I’ve never seen such a tone death response from Disney to controversy. This is going to snowball with other actors too.
Better be careful Chapek. If you fuck around and lose Kevin Feige, it's curtains.
If WB was smart they'd offer big $ to KF and Scar Jo to work for them. She has a sizable fan base and can act as well if they want more Oscar bait films. Or at least Netflix.
@@TheDCbiz doubt Scar Jo wants to do more super hero films
@@dbreezy2298 She could play a great hawkgirl especially if it's drama filled and if the money is right. Maybe she wouldn't want or maybe she would, doubt after this she'd play bw again
Just to be cleared to everyone here, it’s spelled Chaprick. Because he’s clearly a prick.
It'd be like Zack Synder all over again..release the Feige Cut for the MCU!
I could see Feige helping out with that Spawn universe..or maybe helping out Robert Kirkman
“$17 for a piece of shit awful spaghetti” I’m dying
Bob Iger would've never let this drama go public with a high profile star like scar Jo. Chapek is ruining the mcu brand with this kind of shit and making other starts not want to work for the MCU and possibly drive KF somewhere else
Very true. They going have to get chapek out of there soon.
there isnt such thing as "brand"
get the money...and go. nothing like "loyalty", "decency"...the world hasnt changed, and "brands" are just temporary 'rubberband and tape holding rocketships together'
How many times has anyone interact with a 'brand' and it was always about "the bottom line" in the end...zero decency
air-conditioning workers, HOAs.
tech companies etc. list is endless.
I don't think BW was a great movie - I think it was mediocre - but there is no doubt that the streaming service had an impact on tickets sales...she's right, they fucked her over with this move - if that's their new way of distribution they should include that in the contract
Also don’t forget, failing to plan a release in China despite having censor approval for it is going to screw any box office for the movie if/when it does release
I mean other only, ok, MCU films have still made tons of money before in theaters.
So yeah, the premium service thing was almost certainly a big factor here.
People always put Disney on a pedestal. so It's always nice for moments like these to happen to remind people they are a greedy corporation just like all the rest.
😔
@@captain3904 Glad you wake up to the nasty reality of Hollywood, and the mega corporations behind it
Exactly
American capitalism baby
Everybody knows Disney is a company. And everybody knows that a company’s first objective is to make money. There’s not a single person alive who is naive enough to think Disney throws out all their movies, cartoons, toys, parks at the fans out of the goodness of their hearts. But a company can still make money and not backstab their associates. And that’s a lesson Chapek will have to learn real soon.
And Emma Stone & Emily Blunt are reportedly “weighing their options”… This could get really ugly, it seems like this could have been easily avoidable but they could be facing multiple lawsuits. Disney could be facing serious issues moving forward.
Lol
There's nothing to see here. This lawsuit is largely frivolous
If Bob Chapek destroys the chances of a Cruella sequel, I will riot!
@@jboogie45213 found the Chapek burner account.
@Tim C Not because I say so but based on the merits of what we know. You can't claim to be robbed of box office when your movie was released in theaters. It sounds like they are shooting a shot in hopes of a settlement or a miracle. This also good be a stup to see the books in order to give all other talents the information to negotiate new contracts
Contract is a contract Disney , pretty sure Disney would destroy a person if they breached it calling them unprofessional probably. If it in her contract, then Disney is super wrong and i dont know why that would attempt to make it seem like otherwise lmao
You gotta read the contract and the complaint. Disney has smarter lawyers than Scarlett.... Sucks that she's gonna lose.
Her contract doesn’t say how Disney had to release the movie. She’ll lose.
@@dreamrestore213 Yep. That's why Disney went scorched earth on her. She would have a case if they released the movie on D+ exclusively; but they honored their requirement to do a theatrical wide release. No one wanted to lose money on this. If BW was on its way to $1B and on D+, the lawsuit would have never happened. They are fighting over the carcass now.
@@JoeJoe-lq6bd Did you read it?
Me staring at my Disney stock: 👀
This is all bob chapek. Disneyland employees living in their cars homeless and not be paid fair wages was when bob ran it. Now talent getting jipped pay from Disney+ while chapek is CEO and Disney+ is the main focus of the company content side right now not a coincidence
You misspelled Chapek. It’s spelled Chaprick.
Everything he touches looks bad.
Ummm Disney pays their employees shit money bob iger not the Disney family did nothing to change that
@@CarolCityCane305 True but who ran the parks during that time chapek. Iger was fully in charge but gave lots of independence to his different departments and being less micromanaging. The Disney family are shareholders and can't do much without support of other shareholders but they could've fought for that harder to be fixed under chapek and especially since iger was in charge. Chapek will do what he did to the park employees but with Disney+ talent too I expect
It not that you have to know how to handle talent this guy self destructing. He doesn't understand that eventually know one will want to work with you or you have to over pay for mediocre talent.
I didn’t know Disney had hired Sean Spicer as there spokes person. How interesting…
lol I thought the same thing. That was the most MAGA, Fox News, response to criticism possible.
No kidding....Disney has become so full of themselves and are acting invincible its pathetic.
🤣
Bob Iger probably should have remained CEO a little longer, as he might have been able to figure out how to handle all of this
yep. Iger would of handle this better. Chapek worry me for multiple reasons, and he make me feel like he going screw up with Sony and we'll lose spider-man after the sony disney deal time period is over
Man Chepak has to go. I see we’ll probably lose Lucasfilm, Marvel Studios, and Pixar with in this next decade. All the good will earned will he lost. Chepak is a huckster and a scoundrel. He is notoriously cheap and is a scumbag. Disney will done! The shareholders need to intervene
@@JohnnySturdivant it’s spelled Chaprick.
are you kidding, Iger left because he didnt want to look bad having to make impossible decisions in having to deal with all this shit. he dumped it in chapeks lap
@@superteerev sure
Look, people who don’t follow the industry will find it difficult to find sympathy for a wealthy woman who wants more money. For people in the know, this sounds like a screw job.
I agree with John to a point. They’re not using covid as just a cowardly excuse, NO ONE saw a giant pandemic that would affect the world globally you can’t ignore that, and it’s not “cowardly” to try and create new avenues for people to see it that would make them feel comfortable. That being said Disney SHOULD have negotiated that with marvel and Johansson and her cut being taken by Disney plus must be addressed. Putting it out in Disney plus was not the issue, not negotiating it was the real issue
That’s Bob Chepak for you
Bingo because if covid would not have happened the movie would have came out over a year ago at the movies. Disney plus isn’t the issues the issues is she didn’t get a cut of the Disney plus money (as a actress) who knows what her contact is as a producer
But Disney using the Pandemic as a reason that they are not renegotiating a deal, the move to Premier Access, that's related to the Pandemic, not honoring an agreement or refusing to renegotiate has nothing to do with COVID-19.
@@ChildOfTheWilderness You believe it would have only made 200 million whether or not it was released the same day on Disney+?
@@lilbaz8732 True! However, what she is claiming is that new subscribers decided stay home rather than sitting in a movie theater (hence not adding to the head counts for her bonus) and she wants a cut from these new subscribers who paid Disney. I think she is fighting an uphill battle about how much the movie and her name led to additional people registering for Disney+, especially given the pandemic and other shows on Disney, such as Loki released five weeks prior, that probably also added subscribers. I read a comment from a contract lawyer yesterday and this person was saying that Scarlett would lose if it goes to court.
Scarlett started a revolution. Now, Gerard Butler is suing Millenium Media for $10M for Olympus Has Fallen. Soon, we’re gonna see actors launch a coup to overthrow corrupt CEOs like Chapek 🤣
His is against the "Hollywood accounting" system that they use to justify not paying the backend, hope he wins too
@@bob-1980 maybe Night Has Fallen was cancelled so he’s now wanting the money he believes was owed
@@raok I haven't seen anything about it being canceled. Sad if it is I enjoy the franchise
@@KeenApollo same, but just a guess of why filing the lawsuit with a company your supposedly still doing business with 🤷🏻♂️
There’s nothing the actors can do. The power is with the shareholders and the board of directors. Whether I agree with chapek’s management or not, he’s done well for Disney shareholders so far
I usually roll my eyes when John starts going on a rant, but everything he said was absolutely right. I hope Emma Stone, The Rock, Emily Blunt, etc…follow suit.
Lol why? His rants are fun
follow suit.. lawsuit (I'll show myself out)
@@desmondslater because a lot of the time his rants are super biased
@@justaduck1652 Ahh yeah that's true too
@@justaduck1652 so what? His channel is called "John Campea" no? Goodness, people get offended and mad over the most ridiculous things 😂😂 such babies 👶
This is like a season of entourage. We need Ari to handle this
Fucking Ari Gold...
As much as I love the MCU
If Disney ends up pushing Feige out, then that's the last time I'll support them
Don't worry!
If Feige gets out and MCU becomes a shitshow then i think most fans will stop watching these movies.
Countdown now begins for the first person to edit Mickey Mouse over Adam drivers face during the big fight scene in "A marriage story".
Genius 😂😂😂
Disney has been screwing over people forever, I remember Robin Williams suing them when they used his voice as the Genie in Aladdin promotions outside of the movie without paying him or his permission.
Rob says you get what you negotiate, and Scarlet did get what she negotiated. Per Variety:
According to the suit, Johansson’s contract guaranteed a “wide theatrical release” for “Black Widow,” meaning the film would be shown on at least 1,500 screens. Johansson’s lawyers argue that everyone understood that to mean an “exclusive” theatrical release, under which “Black Widow” would not be available on other platforms for at least 90 to 120 days.
She got a wide theatrical release on 1,500 screens. Her team is arguing that exclusive is understood...because it WAS NOT written in the contract as such. Granted, in 2017 this was not something that would have ever been considered, but still...it is not there.
Courts will decide if that assumption is valid if it gets that far. But this is a legit legal disagreement with what seems like 2 valid opposing sides.
Up!!
John is too emotionally invested on this. He should calm the heck down before making these kinds of statements lol
The court will also have to weigh the issue in light of whether or not this contract breach affects others who worked on the film, correct? As I understand it, this lawsuit is pushing back and testing the waters for A LOT of the crew that worked on the films, and who are also being screwed
Disney was also failing to pay author royalty for Star Wars authors after they took over. Just trying to see what they can get away with anywhere and everywhere until too big a stink was raised online about it for long enough.
Ed Brubaker, the creator of Winter Soldier said he can't watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier because he never got paid for the show, the film titled Captain America: Winter Soldier, or any of the films.
@@bettercallmaul5810 I could be wrong but I dont think thats related.....that will be to do with any deals he had with Marvel (pre-Disney, Stan Lee etc).
If he was paid off and had no right to Wintersoldier through Marvel pre Disney, he wouldnt have any under Disney's Marvel.
And this is why I’ve never been a fan of Disney.
I hate the new Disney
I don’t hate Disney… I hate Bob Chepak and his leadership
@@creepslamersractivisionbli8019 hey man. We agree to disagree. Hope you have a good weekend.
@@creepslamersractivisionbli8019 But you aren't sick of snotty executives who don't honor the contract they made? They seem snottier then ScarJo.
@@creepslamersractivisionbli8019 what?
Why this reminds me of Marriage Story where ScarJo's character is also divorcing the husband and the husband gets confused and depressed.
Not suing, divorcing.
@@rubberducky4074 my bad. I got mixed up.
She can add defamation of character to her lawsuit now.
I fucking hope she does. That response from them was disgusting.
I was going to see 'Jungle Cruise' this weekend... but instead I think I will just go buy popcorn at the theater instead.
Support the theaters
Nah, watch the green knight since that’s coming out. Support an indie studio and the theater
Posting how much she made is them warning others not to come forward. That is exactly what that is about. It's Disney saying, "if anyone else comes after us for us breaking a contract... we will let the world know your salary."
I guarantee it.
Not much of a threat. Everyone knows what kind of pay top actors get for blockbuster movies. I read about her 20 mil and didn’t even blink. If I was one of those actors, them threatening to release my wage wouldn’t scare me in the least.
@@jarosbodytko6462 I don't think you understand. How much actors make per whatever they do is almost always private because it will effect any and all negotiations in the future for all of the future projects they do.
I don't want Chapek to muck up Disney the same way AT&T mucked up WB
@@jimmycevallos4468 Is it not leaderships responsibility in regards to direction of the company or certain departments? The suits are exactly why DC is where it’s at. The other commenter is simply stating Disney needs to watch themselves before they make mistakes others have. Bottom line talent are not employees they are business partners and have to respect them as much.
"Yeah I told you I'd pay $100 to my lawn but 9/11 happened" lmaooo
I love John but i vividly remember him ranting on WB about the same day release and not dealing with the talent and him saying Disney would never do anything like that. That they would have all their talent notified and everything squared away. Just think it’s ironic that Disney did the same thing lol
The sad thing is that there are actually disgusting people online going along with and believing the whole narrative of “She’s a rich snob just begging for money!”
This country seriously needs a reality check.
I agree Disney screwed her badly.
I agree she deserves to get what she is owed according to what she and Disney agreed on, however on a separate note, I do think what these people get paid is an obscene amount of money, but then people make millions on only-fans for showing their feet so the whole system is just really bizarre.
@@Obez45 It doesn't matter how much they make
@@Obez45 It's not so much about how much Scarjo made, it's more about Disney being exposed as the spineless, backstabbing greedy money whores they are. Just because she got a lot doesn't mean Disney shouldn't comply with what they promised her. If this is how they treat Scarjob imagine all the lower staff that work for Disney.
Uh, that's exactly what she is.
I blame Chapek. Bob Iger would never
One thing is if they renegotiated with Scarlett Johansson about the contract before the movie came out but they didn’t even do that they were too lazy to do that and they thought that they could get away with it this is truly sad that Disney has stoop this low 🤦🏾♂️
Would love a lawyer's opinion on that contract, Disney+ deserves the heat right now
Rob actually read a better article on this topic on his channel. Her contract said theatrical wide release and her lawyers are saying exclusivity was implied/understood. That's not a strong hand. Disney honored their commitment to do a theatrical wide release. You remember last year when people wanted them to release this on Disney+ while theaters were closed? They literally could not without redoing her contract. Wasn't the movie also supposed to come out in March or April 2021 and they pushed it back one more time to try to salvage this thing? They basically didn't pay her off because they probably would have to pay off Stone, Rock, and Blunt too. It's unfortunate this went public, but this may be $100M+ combined additional compensation for all four of them at the same time the movies aren't brining in much money.
the Disney plus release has everything to do with the pandemic
This issue aside, my lawyer brain's first thought is (going with the assumption this is a public claim): what kind of a rookie lawyer does not include an arbitration clause, with an NDA on top of it, in their movie deal contract to ensure these things never see the public light?
I mean sure, because of how big the topic is, someone on the inside might have leaked some rumors about it regardless, but they would have at least somewhat mitigated the PR damage?
Not surprised it came to this, lot of these contracts are gonna get like this now with all these movies dropping on streaming and theaters
So a rich person is suing a rich corporation and the result will determine which rich person/entity gets to keep more money. Can't say I really care who wins.
Same , why not use that money and feed the homeless or give them clothes shoes etc
Exactly. Can’t believe John is shilling for these rich people
I want Disney to win so the movies and streaming shows don't get ruined in this petty mess. These megalomaniac's better not mess with my shit.
Except this sets a precedent for others as well... there are some really great breakdowns on the internet about how this could help the "smaller" employees as well, it's quite fascinating. The fact that you guys just focus on the money sum means that Disney's distraction tactics are already working, don't fall for it.
@@tamapajamas your tv shows will cease to exist if Disney doesn't properly pay the people making them
I love how rob is johns hype man just adding more fuel to the fire lol
Isn’t the pandemic fitting in the Major Force clause of the agreement? I think it does
Disney is happy that Black Widow is killed off because they ain’t getting Scarlet Johansson back lol
It's a PR battle. If she is going to say they stole 50 million from her then what they did give her is relevant.
There are so many assumptions being made here that your arguments are undercut. Disney has handled this poorly but being a fan of the artist does not make this a legal slam dunk.
Disney def yanked the rug out from under her potential earnings. If part of her pay was based on theatre ticket sales and they released it online simultaneously, then they def cut her pay.
How can a company like Disney come out with a statement like that, which is so unprofessional and is certainty to provoke outrage? Its ridiculous. I couldn't believe that statement. All they did is have people unite behind SJo because this statement is just so openly underhanded and dirty.
An important thing to point out is that Disney gets most of the money from D+, a percentage of the sales in D+ isn't the same as a percentage from cinema tickets.
I wonder how long Chaprak will be the one in charge. This could very well be his "Pirates of the Carribean" moment.
Esp. if other actors sue too.
I agree 100%. In total bad taste for Disney to invoke Covid and then publicly disclose her salary as some sort of gotcha moment. Really is gross
Yeah the contract was made in 2017 but Covid did make them move it to try and recuperate some of there cash. I get Disney point tbh
Wait. Hold on.. They made a movie for her that they didn’t want to make, let her be a producer, let her force a director that they didn’t want, gave her a cut of the $30 D+ 💰 for the dual release + 20 mil, and she’s suing for a cut for all subscriptions?????? GTFOH! 😂
@@griswoldclark6835 What you don't understand is that by releasing the film only in theaters it would take Disney longer to recoup their investment before profits that would kick in the backend deal Scarlet was hoping for. She didn't even wait for a China release for this absurd argument. By going D+ and theaters it's a win for everyone especially Disney because they can recoup their investment quicker and they are still giving Scarlet bonuses off Disney plus Premier Access. What else does she want? Because moviegoers are not repeatedly viewing films. Look at every film released. Fast 9 was saved by China.
That statement from Disney is one of the most embarrassing rebuttals I’ve ever seen from a multi billion dollar corporation. Sounded like something you would read in butt hurt CZcams comments rather than a response to a lawsuit from a serious and respected company. Tragic.
If she sues Disney, it could be devastating for us as consumers. Then more actors will sue and Disney will have to make fewer movies or TV shows, Disney will not see Disney plus as a money maker. Which in turn will cause them to lose subscribers. I think Disney needs to get dirty as she did her. Look how many great performances has she done before, not many in my book. Sorry, it's true, and Disney needs to win this one!! I think this was a big mistake for her to do. I been acting to back in the days. And i must say you need to look at the bigger picture here. She might lose all over this, i would think what is coming down the road of films she will be in. If she loses well i think it bye-bye for here
I'm sorry but that's one of the most idiotic, selfish, completely missing the point statements that I've ever heard.
Mr Campea,
I'm 100% loving your words for Disney, suppprting you all the way man, keep up the fucking good work man.
This reminds me of owners of sports teams feeling like players should be happy with making millions of dollars & to not want more money in a contract renewal. Casual movie & sports fans might feel like actors & actresses should be happy with making millions of dollars & to not want more money. I do agree that future contracts must include streaming right that could occur at the same time as a theatrical release.
Its great the Scarjo suing Disney... it sets a good precedent.
Why didn’t Disney do a deal with Johansson, like WB did with Gal Gadot before the release of WW84 on HBOMax🤔
Greed. It’s like he said “What she gonna do?? She’s just an actress!! Second rate if you ask me!!” Heavy laughter and coughing through cigarette and cigar smoke! Ugh. 😩
@@deeangil9877 yeah seems very shady …
Not sure why we care. It’s like one rich person saying to another rich person that they need more money for the sake of needing more money. Let them fight.
This is not the end but just the beginning... And not just for Disney but the entire industry.
Worst thing is that Disney's statement worked on a lot of people. I saw a lot of folks calling Scarlett greedy and saying she already has enough money, completely forgetting that Disney is worth $130 billion and they're here taking her contracted salary.
They signed, they pay
Where Covid come into this, from what I understand, is that Johansson is saying them releasing the move on premier access at the same time as theaters that it cut her out of some profits based on what it makes (or could make) in theaters, and what it makes in theaters is less because it's on premier access, and it's on premier access at all because of Covid.
Not too different from how Disney is handling royalty payments to authors of the Star Wars EU books.
I'm really grossed out by the way Disney has been handling things since Iger announced he's stepping down.
Covid was a factor.. what if Disney released this only in theatres during peak pandemic?
Movie would've made nothing and her bonuses would've been far less then what she would have received from Disney doing it the way they had.
Disney, as most big corporate companies, behaves like a big bully. Maybe Chapek is handling the PR worse, but Iger was no saint either. I remember a very bullyish behavior from Disney towards Tarantino and "the hateful eight" not that long ago. I'm not trying to diminish the bad direction under Chapek, but I get the feeling Iger's run might have been not so different if his hadn't been the years of plenty for Disney.
This situation is just sad.
It’s not just Marvel. Scarlett Johansson was also in Jungle Book and JOJO Rabbit, which are Disney films as well don’t forget.
The pandemic has a lot to do with the contract the pandemic has affected everything including movie going and in term affected the box office negatively people aren’t going to the movies although I also feel it should’ve stayed a theater only release
Disney is trying really hard to spoil the image of Scarlett Jo by making people think that she is too greedy for money which by the way is very unprofessional from their side because she has been a part of many successful disney ventures which amassed billion of dollars at the box office, so I don't think she did anything bad by suing Disney over this issue. I really think she deserves to be paid and respected just like other male celebrities who have worked with MCU and Disney and earned millions of dollars as profit
I agree with you. Unfortunately, their response is actually working. Lots of people on Twitter are calling her heartless and greedy... as if they're not 😒
She got paid 20 million……. How much was she supposed to get …. I think they would of lost more money if they didn’t put it on premier access….. And all the movies would be out of order
If she made 20 million dollars on a 200 million dollars box-office, then she would've made a lot more without Premier Access. F9 and Quiet Place 2 dropped 30%-50% from previous films, and Black Widow's estimation was 800-900 million dollars. So it would've made 400-500 million dollars in the pandemic, giving Scarlett Johansson 40-50 million dollars.
Hopefully at the end of the day, this all works out.
I hope all of those supporting Scarlett are also prepared to pay more for streaming services or worse yet, not have access to these movies on streaming at all. All so a rich person can get even richer. She couldn't even bother to look out for the hundreds of other workers on the movie who makes far less than $20M.
you could've titled this video "Disney Has Decided To Drive Its Goodwill With Marvel Fans Directly Into A Wall"
I think everyone ahould bycott service for one month in honer of.Scarlett. Just so they feel the loss of the revenue.
Wasn't Gal Godot atleast paid based on box office projections for WW1984 ? Can't believe WB is handling their talent better than Disney
Why it has to do with Covid? Force majeure clause. They are gonna argue that and it is pretty common to have this in contracts. Why do you guys think Covid is not going to be in play for the contract?
Walt wouldn’t have wanted this
No more Disney Plus boxes for John anymore.
2:59 I’m wheezing so much 🤣
This is the end of these marvel movies man.. I’m telling you, at least quality wise… I see no reason why Scarlett doesn’t win the suit. They should have came to the table and took care of this before she had to sue.
I ain’t mad. Scarlet needs her bag too
I mean she doesn’t because she isn’t what’s driving people to Disney+. It’s the character whose intellectual property is owned by Marvel which is owned by the Mouse. But hey Disney cough Bob Chepak cough messed up. Campea’s and everyone’s ire should be directed at Chepak. Igor should’ve never chose that guy. He’s Ike Perlmutter 2.0. I’m not mad at Disney but I am very upset at Bob Chepak and his leadership
Why would you be? Is she suing you?
Oh John. Smh.
She's got plenty of bags. And houses. And cars. She’ll be fine.
@Freddy Kitchens poor girl.
The covid reference is because it affected the release strategy. The response may be crappy but it isn’t incoherent. Their “desire” was a result of covid. It sucks for Johansson but nobody was excited for that movie, it got okay-at-best reviews, and people are not eager to go to movie theaters.
I'm still gonna support the MCU. Because I respect Feige and everyone there but I hope Scarjo rakes Disney over the coals for this
Kevin Feige has the cards here. If he opted to stand alongside Johansson, cash in his chips and threaten to leave the Disney table, that would have a serious effect on the landscape. The question is whether or not Chapek is idiotic enough to call his bluff, and whether or not Feige would in fact be bluffing. The only reason another movie house wouldn't want Feige right now is they couldn't afford him. Feige doesn't need Disney anymore. Disney needs Feige. He won't do that tho, cuz he doesn't really stand with Johansson. He's just putting on airs. He's never been on her side, or we woulda got Budapest ten years ago. This will be settled out of court. A whimper and not a bang.
Sony did drop a Spider-Man trailer for Bob Kheypek. "Venom: There will be Carnage."
Anthony Mackie at a comic con years ago said that in the 80s and 90s it was Stallone film, Schwarzenegger film, A Snipes film and now it's no longer the actors film but a franchise film now with the MCU. The character becomes a bigger star than the actor/actress portraying it which kind of sucks. I just hope that the Disney Plus premium access ends after Jungle Cruise.
I know what they make is irrelevant to this lawsuit but damn bruh 20 million fucking dollars seriously bruh.
RDJ made like $75 mil for 5 minutes of screen time in Spider-Man... this is Scarlett's first solo movie with them after 12 years. I don't blame her for being pissed lol they've treated her and her character like shit since the start.
Disney is a hot mess
What a shame we don’t have weekend update on SNL covering this.
Wait wait wait…. John!!
You think Jen Garner is a better actress than ScarJo? What???
I usually respect and agree with most of your opinions but this is a terrible one bro! Scarlett is a MUCH better actress..
This is an interesting scenario because I could see this going either way. Disney TECHNICALLY has fulfilled their part of the contract. The box office is what it is. And that’s how the cookie crumbles. On the other hand, it is crystal clear that the box office was hurt due to the Disney+ Premium Access release.
It’s all going to be about Scarjo proving actual losses. If she can do that past 50% belief (which isn’t unreasonable), I think she can win.
What I know will NOT happen is a settlement. They can not afford to settle this. If they settle, they will owe every other actor with these provisions the same percentage cut they paid to Scarjo. If I were Disney, I’d take my chances and continue to point out that my part of the contract was fulfilled.
What is the shirt that Rob is wearing from?
To a court, it will all hinge of what Disney means by “premier access will significantly enhance her ability to earn additional compensation” and whether that satisfied the actual terms of her current contract.
my personal fav moment from vid was when Rob went "oh boi" yes, I do love u both
Talent...and heart - Campea and Rob have em in oodles..and you both makes my day....thank you for being real decent people, u both!!!
Bread, butter...income...contracts...these stuff are important and glad u guys didnt skirt this issue over !!!!! cant heart enough!!!💖💖💖
Will it be actors name then the company or the individual name of the president running the company? And what would happen if a person steps down what would happens to the contract when a new person comes in if the original agreement that was signed as Scarlet Johansson & Bob Igor would that contract be voided when he stepped down?
At the end of the day Scarlet has a contract and an agreement. I’d Disney doesn’t follow that then they are wrong. Period. Doesn’t matter how much it was. If she were to let this slide then they can just violate all contracts across the board.
She is done in Hollywood, this is her last ticket to get some more money - did you think about that?
Everything with ScarJo aside, where did John get that sweatshirt because I need it!!
