My immediate reaction was "that's a great point actually" but a few seconds into that high I realized also that Box Office numbers are fairly reliable given their sample size - it's all in proportion anyway, especially when you account for the inflation.

For example, we can extrapolate a lot from the Black Widow numbers still barely beating out Hulk (on the bottom), especially against Hulk numbers from 11 years ago or whatever when things were cheaper.

Kinda curious what was up with Scarjo and Ryan. Like I don't have to be gay to know he's a good looking dude, his kids woulda been heart throbs, especially with Scarjo as the mother, and I'm assuming he's loaded. Does anyone know if Scarjo's current man is making more bank than him, at least back then when she had the kid? I'm assuming all this was pre-Deadpool.

Pure speculation, but Hollywood is known to be as fake as it can get, and the relationships no doubt are part of that fakeness. I definitely think that a good deal of Hollywood couplings and marriages are arranged by management and studioheads to create buzz, and sometimes they work out, and sometimes they don't, so as soon as that contract is up, the divorce comes. Won't be surprised if Scarjo had a kid with someone she's always loved on the side, but had to keep out of the lime light. I have a cousin who tried to get into acting and one of the deals she made with the manager was that she was to appear available but not actually be available.

Looks like she had a kid with a rich Frenchman after Reynolds. Then divorced. Then married the head writer of SNL and had a 2nd kid.

The CEO of IMAX believes that “cannibalization” hurt the film's financial performance. He believes that Disney will return to the traditional theatrical format for future releases.

People just prefer not to go to theaters, of course if you remove that option numbers will go up for theaters. But it's like not selling computers because typewriters are losing business and forcing someone to do something they don't want.

Besides that the movie was originally scheduled for May 2020 before covid happened, so people just stopped caring a year later. And even then it was "5 years late" as the movie should have happened around 2015-2016 anyway...not after Endgame when Widow was dead.

lol. Yeah.

I mean, a moment like that can really humble a man. Probably hurts if you're not very emotionally stable. The difference is he can drown himself in millions of beautiful women instantly, which helps.

Edit: Oh, I see the focus of your post is more about Scarlett. But yeah, geeze.

I went to the theater yesterday to see it again. The big screen experience is still worth it IMO. The story, action, and characters are just as solid as ever.

In the meantime, Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney for a breach in contract following the hybrid theatrical and Disney+ Premier Access release.

She knew it would come out on streaming and it was delayed a year for covid, why does she care? Also if she burns bridges with Disney they'll probably never bring her back in any future movie, in the rare scenario Black Widow is revived.

Well, I guess it's convenient for Disney her character has already been killed off.

[sdp]

She realized that with her movie bombing that Disney won't make a sequel and since she died she can't do new movies either.

They can't stop eating themselves

[CyberCubed]

Eh, she's pushing 40 anyway which means Hollywood won't cast her in anything than "older woman" roles soon anyway. She knows she's on borrowed time and her role on Disney/The Avengers is pretty much over anyway, so she has nothing to lose I guess.

[ranger_scout]

Disney has responded to her lawsuit.

Well she just screwed over her career.

Not really, Her contract had no mention about the movie releasing on Disney+. so this lawsuit is legit, And she could win. Disney will have to settle.

Bombing?!? I thought I was just reading posts about "multiple viewings" in cinema and surely-gosh-darn-jolly-willickers it being a rollicking-fun-romp as much as eva!" What do you mean bombing?!?

Go back to posting about Scar Jo being old or something....

She might have a valid suit. In its' simplest form, if her contract language tied her payout to the box office success, then she might have an argument that Disney undermined that maliciously to serve their own needs by not giving the movie a theatrical-only window. Not that it would've done any good, but.......

Yeah she knew the possibility existed which is why she confirmed in her contract with them that they would NOT do so. They told her they would not, and did it anyway. Breach of contract.

Hope other actors rise up and sue Disney into the ground.
