Warners was smart they just paid everyone off when they announced the same day theatre and streaming plan for this year.
It's an issue that's going to be a huge factor in the next few years with so many movies now going streaming, or lower theater windows, every studio is down to 45-60 days, and so many actors having box office revenue sharing in their deals
Plus all of the guilds and unions are happy shes doing this, because some of the big ones have their CBAs up in a few years and the studios have always been very cheap when it comes to paying for anything related to streaming, especially residuals

Yes Disney is a big corporation but she makes more than almost everyone working at Disney. The guilds don't represent regular folk while Disney employs thousands of regular folks so I don't understand why I should side with an actors union when even the lowest paid are making 6 figure salaries. If you all want to side with a person that earned $20 million to film a movie that thinks she's due $50 million then that's fine with me but I just don't find either side worth my time. At the end of the day the courts will decide based on the language in the contract and I'm totally fine with whatever their decision may be. It's not like I'm a Disney fan as IMO Disney+ isn't worth the money.
