Movie Star Solution “Black Widow” Scarlett Johansson sue the company Disney can become an example for other actors with whom he collaborates Mickey Mouse House… This was stated by the ex-editor with reference to his sources. The hollywood reporter Matthew Belloni…
According to preliminary data, actresses are now allegedly considering the possibility of filing lawsuits. Emma Stone and Emily Blunt… Their claims are similar to those of Scarlett Johansson, who wants to sue about $ 50 million.
Stone starred in “Cruella“(Cruella), and Blunt – in “Jungle Cruise“(Jungle cruise). Both films were planned to be theatrical exclusives, but in the end, Disney decided to play it safe with a hybrid release. That’s just in Johansson’s contract premiered in Disney + was not registered, because she was promised a percentage of theatrical fees.
You need to understand that the premiere of “Jungle Cruise” took place only on July 29, but Emily Blunt already had the experience of knocking out additional compensation from the studio Paramount… It is possible that she and Emma Stone will take retaliatory actions only after they receive all the necessary figures on the fees.
Belloni also added that the Black Widow scandal infuriated the head of the studio. Marvel Kevin Feige… The top manager is not prone to corporate showdown, but he opposed the hybrid release of “Black Widow”. When Johansson threatened the House of Mickey Mouse with a lawsuit, the head of Marvel tried to convince the higher management to peacefully negotiate with the actress. This Feige also failed.
Previously, several insiders reported the conflict between Disney President Bob Capek and Marvel CEO Kevin Feige. The reason was Czapek’s leadership style, which supposedly puts sales over creativity.
The journalist stressed that it was always difficult for actors and lawyers to cope with the bureaucratic machine of Disney, and under the new head of the company, dealing with Disney lawyers Boba Czapek, everything became much worse. Therefore, in Hollywood, everyone was waiting for a major star to go to war at the Mickey Mouse House. The heroine was Scarlett Johansson.
Most likely, the dispute between Johansson and Disney will be settled out of court, because the company does not want to drown in a PR disaster. However, new claims may be filed with the court in the coming weeks.
Matthew Belloni’s prediction partially confirmed … Gerard Butler… On June 30, it became known that he had filed a lawsuit against the companies Nu Image and Millennium media… The reason was the controversy surrounding the film released in 2013 “Olympus Has Fallen“(Olympus has fallen).
At the worldwide box office, the action movie grossed more than $ 170 million, but the actor never received the percentage of the fees prescribed in the contract. Butler’s representatives also suspected studio management of fraudulent accounting and distributor agreements.
