Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit against Disney for breach of contract over her latest movie, Black Widow.
As part of her contract, Johansson would get a percentage of the box office totals. The lawsuit alleges Disney released the movie on the Disney Plus streaming app at the same time as the theater in order to promote its new app. And, the move lessened the box office profits.
Disney replied to the allegations in a statement calling Johansson’s actions “callous”, in lieu of, the pandemic.
