EMMA STONE IS ABOUT TO SUE DISNEY COMPANY OVER ‘CRUELLA’ MOVIE
The American actress stated she would apply to the lawyers to sue Disney company. The conflict arose over the broadcast of Cruella on the Disney + platform.

The fact is that ‘Cruella’ simultaneously appeared in cinemas and on the streaming of Disney +.  Despite the fact that the film received good reviews and critical acclaim, the box office result was not very large ($ 222 million with a budget of $ 200 million).  Experts noted that this could be due to Disney’s streaming.
Emma Stone was entitled to a percentage of the box office gross, but not of the online platform.
Thus, the actress believes that she did not receive the royalties for s ‘Cruella’.  In addition, the early appearance of the film on the platform reduced the attendance in cinemas.

Last week, actress Scarlett Johansson filed a similar suit in court.  Black Widow was also released on Disney +, but under the contract, Johansson could only count on a percentage of the box office in cinemas.

Disney commented on the situation, calling the claim unfounded.  The company believes that the terms of the contract have been fully complied with, and the early release of the film on the online platform allows the actress to earn additional funds.  Johansson received $ 20 million for Black Widow, but her lawyers believe that the actress's real profit should have been more than $ 50 million.
