I get where Patty Jenkins is coming from. Some movies have a visual component that’s best viewed on a larger scale. I can respect that. Movies are art and art should be viewed how the creators intend. However, the ways people consume things and the technology they use to do that are ever changing. Adapting to change is the only option. Some people still aren’t completely comfortable sitting in a movie theater even with masks on. Other folks just realized they enjoy not being around other people now. And, they might never go back into theaters as much as they did before before the pandemic shook everything up.
To whoever renegotiated these ladies’ contracts: Well done.
At least Patty Jenkins and Gal Gadot were able to renegotiate their contracts when Warner Brothers decided to release Wonder Woman 1984 in theaters and to HBO Max on the same day. They didn’t get hustled the way Disney appears to have hustled Scarlett Johansson.
