pretty excited about this and DD coming back https://twitter.com/mcu_direct/status/1418640828449312783?s=21
Are we really expecting there to be some major conflict between Hawkeye and Yelena? I'm expecting the opposite.
Really? I fucking love Renner's portrayal of Hawkeye. He's always been one of my favorite characters and I'm actually looking forward to that show.
Also I really don't have any desire at all to watch BW and I know about the post credit scene. Do I need to watch it at all?
I think as a standalone movie it was pretty entertaining. Flo Pugh alone was worth the time. if you're looking for things to progress or even affect the overarching MCU plot, you're going to be disappointed though.
I guess kind of the same response to both of these is that the characters don’t really appeal to me. But again I love marvel overall so will watch all of these. So hopefully Hawkeye ends up being sweet
If it entertains I’m cool with that. Honestly I’m just trying to avoid marvel burnout. Loki was really the only Disney + show I truly loved. Felt like a throwback to the original marvel movies and the feeling you get watching those
Lawsuit is going to be interesting. I wonder what they compare box offices to for lost revenue calculations. Something pre pandemic? Also, do streaming buys go towards box office dollars?
Someone here said streaming numbers don't count towards box office. It did around $60 million in streaming the first week then dropped by almost 70% second weekend
Disney will end up settling and paying her a nice chunk of change, probably close to what she would have earned had the movie released without going to Disney+. I don't think it was ever going to make more than 350-400 million.
Not sure on the legality of that suit.....their defense will very much be "there was a global pandemic" citing some clause about acts of god. As someone said, they'll settle and sign the NDA's Sucks for her though, aren't many women-led action films. I feel for her
I wouldn't be stunned if one or both sides wanted to play this out, considering it could have major ramifications in the industry for determining how streaming relates to box office, but at the same time maybe D+ (and other studios) might have a vested interest in not opening that can of worms.
I would imagine that clause has been invoked more in the last 18 months than it has the prior 20 years combined in the US
I'm not sure it's made much of an impact.. Think it's around 350 million right now and it hasn't opened in China yet. Should get close to the 500ish million ant man did.
Just count the streaming dollars towards the box office total, pay her based on that and call it a day.
I’m just wildly guessing at shit but if that $50 million is coming from her side I’m sure it’s pretty inflated. Do we think pre-Covid that BW would of done $1 billion+ ?
In that article: The company said it “fully complied with Ms. Johansson’s contract and furthermore, the release of Black Widow on Disney+ with Premier Access has significantly enhanced her ability to earn additional compensation on top of the $20 million she has received to date.”
