re: What a greedy capitalistic pig Scarlett Johansson is

Imo, if Scarelett is bringing this lawsuit forward, she's doing so with the full awareness that Disney could/will retaliate and kill her career in the process and is prepared to call it a career if she has to in order to set the precedent here.

---

She also has been all over the news for bitching about actresses making less than actors despite being the highest-paid actress in the world. She was called out for it a lot and Candace Owens even went in on her for it. I bet she feels like she has to pursue this after all of that.

Also, she may be ready to call it a career like you said. She took a lot of heat from the woke mafia the past like 6 years. She might be tired of it.

Where’s your proof that SJ has ever “carried the water for socialism”? I know a lot of Hollywood people aren’t liked by this board because of their opinions, but based on this article:

Scarlett Johansson: Actors should focus on acting and stop making political statements

I’d think she wouldn’t be a target. Either way, your thread doesn’t really belong on this board and really shouldn’t be on any board. Kind of a weird reach here.

Agreed. Besides being a hottie she is not in any way some sort of SJW..

BRB.

Going to watch this on Disney +

I thought actors get paid a portion of the budget to be in a movie

because some of her income from the Black Widow was to come from the box office and she is upset Disney released it on Disney+ at the same time hurting box office revenue.

What does the contract mandate? Does it mandate a theatrical release?

To be fair - her tits are great

It's funny how all of these rich celebs carry the water for socialism and welfare until it comes to their pocketbook.

They also carry the water for illegal immigration yet not one of them will sponsor an illegal immigrant.

I hope she takes a chunk of change off of Disney for this. I don’t care about this movie, this actress, or Disney, but this case could look large for how movies are released in the future.

I still love going to the theatres. If Disney prevails here, then expect to see a lot more paid streaming releases in the future and a significant downturn in movie theatre quality. If Scarlett is successful in this suit though, it will hopefully be a good thing for theatres and put a stop to this practice.

um, rules. Where are the pics?

Feminist Groups Accuse Disney of ‘Gendered’ Attack on Scarlett Johansson



Feminist advocacy groups Time’s Up, Women in Film Los Angeles, and ReFrame are accusing Disney of launching a “gendered character attack” against Scarlett Johansson over the company’s response to the actress’ Black Widow lawsuit filed against them on Thursday.

Johansson has filed a lawsuit against The Walt Disney Co. over its simultaneous theatrical and streaming release of Black Widow, claiming Disney broke its promise to her that it would open the movie in cinemas first. The actress has alleged the “day-and-date” release benefited Disney executives while depriving her of box-office receipts.

Disney reacted to the lawsuit on Thursday, stating that Johansson had already been paid $20 million for the film and that the release on Disney+ boosted her ability to “earn additional compensation.”

“There is no merit whatsoever to this filing,” a Disney spokesperson told USA Today. “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,” the spokesperson added.

On Friday, the feminist advocacy groups released a joint statement, calling Disney’s response to Johansson’s lawsuit a “gendered character attack” against her and accusing the company of attempting to characterize her as “selfish.”

“While we take no position on the business issues in the litigation between Scarlett Johansson and The Walt Disney Company, we stand firmly against Disney’s recent statement which attempts to characterize Johansson as insensitive or selfish for defending her contractual business rights,” they wrote.

“This gendered character attack has no place in a business dispute and contributes to an environment in which women and girls are perceived as less able than men to protect their own interests without facing ad hominem criticism,” the advocacy groups added.
