Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against Disney for breach of contract over her latest movie, Black Widow.

As part of her contract, Johansson would get a percentage of the box office totals. The lawsuit alleges Disney released the movie on the Disney Plus streaming app at the same time as the theater in order to promote its new app. And, the move lessened the box office profits.

Disney replied to the allegations in a statement calling Johansson’s actions “callous”, in lieu of, the pandemic.

WHO KNEW DISNEY COULD CLAP BACK SO HARD?

SCARLETT JOHANSSON FILED A LAWSUIT AGAINST DISNEY FOR RELEASING MARVEL’S  BLACK WIDOW ON DISNEY PLUS AND AT THE BOX OFFICE AT THE SAME TIME CLAIMING IT WAS A BREACH OF CONTRACT. 

BECAUSE HER PAY INCLUDED A PERCENTAGE OF THE BOX OFFICE. NOW, THAT AMOUNT WILL BE FAR LESS SINCE IT’S AVAILABLE ON THE APP.

DISNEY DID NOT TAKE WELL TO BEING CALLED OUT AND SHARED THIS STATEMENT CALLING JOHANSSON’S ACTIONS CALLOUS. 

DISNEY ALSO REVEALED JOHANSSON EARNED TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE MOVIE. 

TWITTER USERS LIKE AGATHA THINK EMMA STONE MAY BE NEXT TO COLLECT SINCE HER MOVIE “CRUELLA” PREMIERED IN THE THEATERS AND DISNEY PLUS AT THE SAME TIME TOO.

BOTH CONTRACTS WERE WRITTEN BEFORE THE RISE IN DELTA VARIANT CASES. 

AND EMILY TWEETED SHE WOULDN’T MIND IF THEY BOTH USE. 

DO YOU THINK JOHANSSON SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE LOSS IN BOX OFFICE PROFITS? 

LET US KNOW IN THE COMMENTS BELOW.
