Also worth noting that Warners haven’t had this kind of an issue with their unexpected streaming / theatrical strategy plan, apparently because they’ve paid everyone affected off.

Disney just gonna Disney though, aren’t they.

Jungle Cruise is in the same situation, be interesting to see what The Rock and Emily Blunt do, presumably they’re also paid % based on box office gross also.

Yeah, I was talking about this with my wife this morning. I’d like to think she’s doing it now to stop a precedent being set for future mixed releases and to make it newsworthy enough that hundreds of lower profile people who stand to lose out on, say, five to ten grand get their dues.

Also, perhaps she can afford to burn those bridges as she’s presumably done with the MCU now, what with her character being dead and Florence Pugh picking up that role going forward?

All I know about Black Widow is that Florence Pugh is apparently really hot in it. My kids went to see it together and I asked them how it was

FLORENCE PUGH IS SO HOT IN IT!

OK cool, how was the film though?

LIKE REALLY REALLY HOT!

Great, sure, how was the film?

SHE WASN’T THAT HOT IN MIDSOMMAR, WHAT EVEN HAPPENED?!

I don’t know, was the film any good?

I NEED TO MESSAGE MY FRIENDS ABOUT HOW HOT FLORENCE PUGH IS.

sigh.
