Why did Focus Films even bother putting Stillwater in theaters?

The book deal is a huge violation...it's not even up for debate. Alan Dean Forester wrote books about Star Wars and Alien and he was contracted to receive royalties from these novels for so long as they remained in print. Disney bought Lucas film and then Fox...and then decided they no longer needed to pay royalties because they're Disney and little guys don't matter to them...but when you buy a company you buy their debts and obligations as well so they still need to pay Forester and everyone else still contracted to receive royalties from their work.
It's very basic contract law.

Why haven’t he sue Mickey? Probably because he has no case and his lawyer advised him of that. Something that ScarJo lawyers should have did too. Look, I’m no fan of the evil mouse, but they have powerful lawyers who has covered all the tracks. That something you don’t understand, it’s not about basic contract law, it’s about who has the best attorneys.

hopefully there will be a settlement. then Scarlett can appear in a solo Disney plus series.
So far her fellow MCU actors hasn’t come to her defense. Which is odd, because every time Chris Pratt opens his mouth they run to his defense.
Try again.
They clearly stopped paying the prose novel writers the royalties the contracts called for and then had lawyers issue statements that essentially said when they bought the rights to the entire Star Wars franchise, they didn't buy the liabilities the existing contracts are. Which is an entirely indefensible position. It was a rather big story because some writers had to get their writer's guilds involved and when Disney ignored them, they went public which forced Disney to start having to account for what they owed and start paying them. Alan Dean Foster was just the biggest name but there were a number of other authors involved. And why didn't they sue? Are you kidding me? You think Foster had the funds to sue Disney when he was basically begging them for a bowl of porridge?
Disney was full of shit and they knew it. The company is scum for basically making authors beg for the little money they were contractually owed. All because they just didn't feel like living up to their contractual obligations.

Disney for only the second time (the rest reported bombed or did not make what disney wanted) access numbers. Jungle cruise made $30m on access. (more tickets lost) And like black widow don't expect week 2 numbers as black widow week 2 access sank like a rock in the seas of black widow bootlegs taken from disney plus.
