I think ScarJo will win. Her contract with Marvel was signed in 2017 before movies were getting released on Streaming and Theaters same time and before Disney+ launched November 2019.

But at same time I am thinking ScarJo was paid $25 million for the movie and her % from the movie tickets sale is 20 million. That's $45 million. I am aware if the movie was not released to Disney+ streaming there would be more movie tickets sold and ScarJo's slice of the pie would be bigger. How much more money does she need?

Google search ScarJo's net worth is already $165 million.

No one need that much money to live on. Dad always tell us you can't take it with you.

Both ScarJo and the Mouse company are greedy.

Who cares.

I honestly didn't know who this "ScarJo" was, but now I see it's Scarlett Johansson...a name I know.

I take the 5th on tats and piercings now, too many in my family (all under 40?) have them. Same with weight and gender stuff. I mentally stay in the 80's.

Regardless of how much money "she needs" or what people may think of her personally, if a WRITTEN and SIGNED contract shows that Disney has violated a provision of said contract, her lawyer(s) have a solid case in court.


Anyone remember the lawsuit between Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema over a similar issue? Jackson won.

Nothing says women's empowerment like screwing them out of money. Disney's virtues have limits I suppose.

Yeah, contractually speaking, if one was violated, she has a case.

In reality, however, their lawyers will likely be more expensive than hers, and they have deeper pockets from which to draw funds to pay, and far more at stake to lose than this one case due to precedent. She can try and sue, but this might cost her all of her income to have a chance at success.

No Fly, how is it up to you to decide how much money a person 'needs'? It's nobody's business but the person earning the money. If they are earning the money honestly, not through criminal activity, it's a right in this country to make as much as you can. If somebody agrees to pay you a certain sum under contract, that is between the persons involved in the contract, nobody else. That's call 'free market' and is the foundation that the economy of this country was built on. I personally think that most actors/actresses and sports stars are paid way more than makes real sense, but hooray for them for earning it. I'd love to have somebody right me a check for a few million for a job.

Consider also that it was not actually released to streaming for paid subscribers to the Disney+ service, it is available to stream for an additional $29.99 stand alone price.

It will eventually be available to just stream for paid subscribers of the Disney+ service at a later date for just their normal monthly subscription rate.

As her lawyer I would try and argue that the $29.99 stand alone price to watch/stream it is the same as a ticket sale at a theatre.

I think that's often the point nowadays, to *not* look more beautiful. I don't know if it's a symptom of childhood abuse (some awful things may be eventually brought to light about the people you know and love) or a militant feminist cancer, but the classy pretty lady look is becoming unfashionable.

flyboy must b really old, this thread was outdated before it even started disney shot back without mercy

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/b...ett-johansson-disney-lawsuit-1234990249/

"“There is no merit whatsoever to this filing. The lawsuit is especially sad and distressing in its callous disregard for the horrific and prolonged global effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Disney has 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 $20M she has received to date.”"

in other words she is being compensated with a new vod residual, they are claiming that releasing the vod at same time hurt the box office where she could get more.
There is a rumour cruella actress is also thinking of sueing disney............

good f...king luck.
i guess we can see DC picking scarjo now, lol, poison ivy is my choice.

You are correct. A third party should be the only thing that is allowed to tell you what your existence is worth.

To quote one of my early customers:
I said, what do you think is fair and his response
"It is not my job to tell you what your work is worth"

It is my opinion that the major problem with socialist's mental state is that they are jealous.

I detest tattoos, but I did once see one I thought was pretty smart - a woman had "Type 1 Diabetic" along with the Hippocratic Oath symbol on her forearm, to inform any first responders if she were in any kind of accident. It was her only tattoo too. Still ugly to me, but I sure couldn't fault the reasoning behind it...

Another one I thought was cool was this guy who had his infant son's footprint on his arm. Even a tattoo hater like me couldn't criticize that one...

Re: ScarJo sues the Mouse company - 08/03/21 05:18 PM

I'm not a fan of tattoos but I've seen some women with small tattoos that I felt looked just fine. It's all subjective of course. I have a couple of female friends who are totally into guys with tons of tattoos on their body. We're talking Tommy Lee quantities of tattoos here. biggrin

My late wife had tattoos. They were cute, as was she. I never felt the need or desire, but my son has a few. I absolutely cannot see the attraction in covering one's face and/or neck with them, but some people can. To each his own.

Rare that I'm discussing current celebrity women with the guys (out of earshot of our wives, of course). I don't know who half of these women are anyway. But if I say, "Meh...gimme an 80's Rock chick (EDIT: artist or video vixen)," they know what I mean (assumptions include no tattoos and no non-earlobe piercings). If I'm asked for an example, I'll say an early-80's Pat Benatar (the most recognizable of my favorites and pre-tattoos, AFAIK). This let's me honestly express my preferences without insulting anyone (no one takes the guy living in the past seriously anyway). smile But I try to never express what I *don't* like which is irrelevant anyway, only what I like; otherwise it doesn't come off so well.

I'm the same. The last thing you want in any relationship is a constant reminder of feeling bad. The good times may be great, but the bad times will fill every other moment in between.

i agree, and the undertones ? ALL MAN ARE BAD ! man only want to control woman, woman sisterhood good ! its so in your face they didnt even try to hide into a plot.
how was this movie costing 200m and captain marvel 160m ? There was no spy thriller as critics said. jumping countries does not make it a spy movie.

im yet to see a women written movie where females characters are good on their own without every male character being evil or dumb in relation to them so they look better. red guy was a complete joke.

1986's "Aliens" was made on a budget of only $18,500,000. Adjusted for inflation this would be about 46 million.

Consider how timeless "Aliens" is. How flawless the filmmaking was. How epic, incredible and perfect a movie James Cameron created. One that oozes pure awesome.

This was a movie that will go down in history as one of the greatest filmmaking accomplishments ever.


Now think about these "modern" comic book movies that cost 150 - 200 million. Are they actually worthy of these inflated budgets? Are they that much better than "Aliens," that they deserve such enormous amounts of money thrown at them?

I'm willing to guess that your answer is "no."

It's a business decision for the studio, not a valuation of it's artistry. In light of that, yes, in most cases the comic book movies are worth the money being thrown at them because they turn a profit. They don't have to even be as much of a ROI... the main thing is they profitable, with the added bonus of a high potential for sequels/spin offs.

The Alien series was good, no doubt. But how many sequels can you milk it for? Avengers: Endgame is the conclusion to 22 film$.

Besides, how often can it be expected to get a classical result like Aliens? It's not like they can just snap their fingers and get that result every time.

I’ve seen some nice-looking tattoos on women, but I still don’t like tattoos on women. I guess my biggest problem with them is people get them just to be like everyone else. I’m not just realizing that most people consider certain things to be trendy and want to do them for just that reason, but we had so little money when I was growing up that I was never able to dress like everyone else, do a lot of the things everyone else was doing, etc. So as an adult trends and fads have no attraction to me at all now. I even made it through 6-8 years of heavy drinking almost every night while in the army without getting ink! But it seems amazing how quickly having them seems to have become the rule and not the exception. Hell, I can remember when STRIPPERS weren’t covered with them!

This is 100% on the money. I vividly recall going to a public pool at a hotel a few years ago and without exaggeration I'd say about a third of the people I saw had tattoos. I was both amused and baffled by the absurdity.

It's also interesting how humans are like drones/lemmings when it comes to trends and fads.

Popular hairstyles change with the decade but aren't permanent like tattoos and some body piercing holes.

Some styles can even be damaging over time like frequent deep tanning and Stilettos (other than very short-term high-heel fuzzy bedroom slippers), neither of which I find sexy like I used to (always thinking long-term). How some cultures ever found neck coil elongating and feet binding attractive baffles me. The closest to natural and best of health should be the most attractive.

The funny thing is many, if not most, trends and fads start by someone doing something different and other people copying it. Which sucks if you’re the first one to do something but don’t want people to think you’re following the trend.

Exhibit A: Hollywood.

By default, film studios are averse to taking risks with original ideas but as soon as one studio does take the risk and it pays off big time financially, all of the other studios follow suit.

That cycle has repeated itself countless times by now.
