I don't understand people on Disney's side here...
Disney signed a contract guaranteeing exclusive theatrical release with Scarjo getting a % of box office earnings.
Disney elected to not move forward with the exclusive theatrical release and include a Disney+ release without amending Scarjos contract. So Disney breached the contract and should be held liable for damages...

Nope

Disney signed a contract
ScarJo is under contract with Marvel, yet she did not sue them for breaking her contract.

The word exclusive is not found in her Marvel contract, much less in a non-existent Disney contract.

ScarJo was completely in the right suing them IMO. Her payment was mostly dependent on theater sales, and Disney released it for streaming on D+ without restructuring her contract beforehand so she got nothing from the D+ streams (despite them costing $30), and the theatrical release numbers were unusually low for obvious reasons. She got hosed.
I feel terrible for her very rich hosed self.

you read the links I posted, they don't have a case. Her contract is with Marvel, but they are suing Disney. Her contract requires arbitration, which would mean with Marvel (who did nothing wrong). So they are, as the article noted, using gamesmanship to get Disney to write them a check
Thats like, just one opinion man.
The lawsuit is actually structured properly.
1)disney owns marvel. Not the other way around
Thats important because
2)disney breaches the contract with marvel by simultaneously releasing the movie on disney plus.
Marvel doesnt own disney. Marvel doesnt own disney plus.
That distinction is why the lawsuit hasnt been thrown out of court yet.
Could it get redirected? Possibly. We will have to wait and see. But because disney owns both marvel and disney plus, johansson's lawyers are actually following the proper protocol for suit.

Oh really. Has a MSJ even been filed yet?

Good point. You want to google that for me?

Don't bring logic here.

If the contract didn’t have a force majeure provision that would’ve covered this, that’s on Disney.
I can’t imagine they didn’t have a force majeure clause. Pretty stupid if they didn’t.
