Scarlett Johansson Sues Disney for Breach of Contract Over Black Widow Release

Why is this story even a thing?
A rich ass woman is suing a rich ass company about her contract and people are acting like its dooms day or something.

rich people have rights to earn money too

I didn't say anything against that. Why do people do that. They take a question and create their own interpretation and come back with an asinine statement of their own. Why do you care that she is suing Disney, maybe that would be an easier question for you.

This is the bottom line, imho.

Her contract specifically stated the movie would be exclusively released in theaters. Period. Her compensation was tied to that fact.

No matter the situation, if Disney is to not exclusively release it in theaters, they have to address ScarJo’s contract. That did not happen. Now they have to deal with the fact they are in breach of contract.

How much she has made to this point is 100% immaterial.

BOOM

First…

No one is acting like this is a doomsday event. It is just a pop culture event that people bored at work are wasting time talking about.

Second…

So if some one (or a company) is rich, they shouldn’t fight to defend what was previously agreed upon? If they do that, they won’t be rich for very long.

I suppose some are simply unfuckable. But I watched a few episodes of My 600 lb life and even some of those dudes have wives so...

You watch that garbage?

They had a contract and Disney breached it. I hope they lose and lose big.

Not what I read

 

[YankeeRebel]

They really can't go into court saying that they didn't fully comply with the contract and expect to fight it now can they?

Yes they can. Disney stated they lived up to the terms of the contract. If they did I would think the Disney lawyers are confident in that. She is making a claim that does not appear to be accurate

Please explain.

I saw a few episodes while holed up in the hospital a few weeks ago. You should watch it. Pretty funny when the guy tried explaining to his doctor why he failed to lose a bunch of weight and said something along the lines of “When I eat chicken breasts I don’t eat just one I eat like four.” and the doc just looks at him like “Dude, you aren’t 600 fucking pounds because you eat too many chicken breasts.”

I just did

Miss Johansson states that they did not fulfil their agreement. I am sure Disney and their lawyers are confident they can afford to not abide by contracts. It appears as though Disney is not being truthful.

Mmm...not really.

Can you provide links to what you read? something that offers proof of what the contract did or did not include that demonstrates Disney's fulfilment of said contract?

At one point the dude threw all of his Eggo waffles, Froot Loops and candy into a fire. Then he went to do karate alone at night in a dojo where he just sat on a stool and slapped a punching bag around. It was crazy. The whole time I’m thinking “I can’t wait to see what this dude looks like at the end.” and in the end he just stayed enormously fat and the show just ended.

Reminded me of that show Intervention where you get all invested in it - the person goes to rehab and you’re like “oh man good for them” then the show ends and they’re like “Ya Paul died in rehab 40 days after this show you just watched for a full hour aired.”

I mean, shit, dude...you weigh 600+ lbs, the feeling of "where do I even begin??".. has gotta be so overwhelming...but then again, to be able to get THAT big in the first place, is just unfathomable to me...

This is why the show exists. It’s great drama. You’re constantly torn between feeling sorry for the guy and feeling sorry for his wife/the docs etc...everybody trying help him.

You cheer the guy on to beat it then get mad at him when he won’t do his part.

A lot of these guys just want “the surgery” and really have no motivation to eat right and exercise.
