a lot of “what if’s”….
and trying to saturate that much is a double edged sword…sure…you are mainstream…but if parts falter…the whole thing becomes kinda a joke…
they probably made a mistake with the “infinity war” stuff…
they could have used the actors still in their 30s for quite awhile longer before they had to right them out.

It's Emma Stone and Emily Blunt. You're mixing up their names.
Oh I agree lots of What If's. I too agree that younger actors certainly could have kept going. I do understand too that they want to do more than just be a Marvel star. LOL if it was me I think of what Tom Baker said once, he wished he had not quit Doctor Who. But he never really did he still is the Doctor to old fans. Thats why hes back now at 87 doing it again

As to Black Widow,
Well its not the first time Disney has played fast and loose with contract language with respect to revenue sharing. E.A. Milne’s heirs were cheated out of millions of dollars on Winnie the Pooh merchandise/movies.

AMC and regal were in danger of bankruptcy before all this…
…so it’s hard seeing them surviving

As an MCU fan, I can back up the Universe will re energized the moment we get to see Charlie come on screen...Much Less The Punisher.
Those that think MCU is over don't look at the streaming wars. Prob. is now TV is Prime Time, not cinematic.

Actually its a safe thing to assume Premier Access has been a complete disaster. As Disney, themselves, have thought out of 4 releases so far only Black Widow where they thought it was good enough to send out a press release to announce that it made $60million from selling it for $29.99, so 2,000,667(rounded up) users bought it. The last we know Disney+ has 103.6million subscribers, that is an attach rate of 1.93%.
If we assume most sales resulted in 8 views. So one person buys it for 8 profiles on the same account to watch, two people view it 4 times or a family of four watching it 2 times. So 16,005,336 @ $9.16(avg cost) Source) is an extra $146,608,878.
Then combine that with the worldwide $158million for the opening weekend so $158million + $146.6million, for a total of $304.6million, is what it could of made if they pursued an exclusive theatrical window.
Which with that performance it would be right around Iron Man 2 global opening weekend adjusted for inflation.

As usual Disney made their choice based on finance vs audience demand RDJ was the face of The Avengers without him where is the interest? He was approachable because he built tech which gave him superhuman abilities but minus the tech he was just a normal fallable human with a razor wit.
The did not want to pay Zoe Saldana either so they wrote her out too and half of the appeal of GoTG is Star Lord and Gamora arguing like an old married couple.

…yeah…I hadn’t seen/heard she had been eliminated?

That is not the argument…
…it’s whether the huge box offices can be sustained as they go away from the more known/bankable actors that were along for the ride into more obscure comic book characters with replacement type actors?
far from a given.
1. You don't have the numbers to show PA isn't doing well. That's speculation on your part.
2. In other threads, I've been tracking how well PA movies have been doing based on Nielsen numbers. And those PA movies did just fine.

So you beat down a fairly plausible assessment (we will never know for sure)…and “just fine”’is the summation?

1. Disney sent out a press release that globally from PA they got $60million - that is an attach rate of 1.93%, terrible
2. Nielsen numbers don't differentiate if one user watches the film 100 times in a week compared to one user watching it once. E.g If you pay for PA and share an account and there are 8 profiles listed each one could watch it twice per week.
So whilst Nielsen numbers start showing up all it will show is a lot of users re-watching it.
And thats essentially what Scarlett Jo et al want is a price per individual user that has seen BW. If you watched it via a profile via a shared account you wouldn't go to a cinema to pay to watch it. She wants the money from the loss of the movie ticket.

from the last movie seems to have gone buh bye in the same way rdj went. Has there been a press release no,
