Bryan Lourd, who is co-chair of talent agency giant CAA, also suggested that Disney was not playing fair by publicly revealing Johansson’s $20 million salary for the Marvel Entertainment movie.
Johansson, like many Marvel veterans including Robert Downey Jr., negotiated to have a percentage of box office receipts tacked on to her salary.
So far, “Black Widow” has tallied $150 million during its first three weeks in theaters and a little more than $300 million globally.
The streaming release of the film ate into box office profits, though Disney reported “Black Widow” scored $60 million from sales on Disney+ during its opening weekend.
