According to sources, there were also some problems between the Cruella authors and the firm. The studio liked the tape, but after the outbreak of the pandemic, Disney wanted to arrange the release of the film only on the streaming service. Disney +, and at no additional cost.
Stone and the director Craig Gillespie opposed such a move, insisting on a premiere in a movie – the original agreement implied just that.
The release of films on Disney + confuses the stars because it could hurt the box office box office. And, according to the agreements, the participants of the films usually receive additional bonuses after their paintings collect certain amounts in the world – for example, $ 500 million.
If the tape does not reach the desired mark, then, of course, there will be no bonuses – and success at Disney + in this equation does not bring similar dividends to the filmmakers, at least not yet.
But the studio still launched the sequel into development – some sources cite the success of the tape among critics as the reason for the decision. But beyond that, Disney wanted to show a benevolent attitude towards their own talents against the backdrop of the recent scandal.
There is no exact date for the premiere of the sequel yet – so far only Stone has signed the agreement, but it is assumed that the rest of the authors can also return to work on the sequel.
