> As part of the suit, they share emails from the star’s management group that asked the studio to guarantee that “Black Widow” would premiere exclusively in cinemas. In response, Marvel Chief Counsel Dave Galluzzi promised a traditional theatrical bow, while adding “We understand that should the plan change, we would need to discuss this with you and come to an understanding as the deal is based on a series of (very large) box office bonuses.”

Wow, talk about blatent. It'll be interesting to see the final settlement.
Would a court typically award the full set of bonuses in this type of scenario or attempt to calculate it based on estimated theater turnout? Would each streaming purchase be counted as the equivalent of one individual, the average household size, etc?
