As if we needed any more evidence that Marvel’s Black Widow is a huge bomb, following only being released for a month, Disney has given up on the theatrical and Disney Plus release and has now released the flick early through digital on-demand.
“The Marvel Studios’ film lands early on Digital today and 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD on September 14!” announced Marvel.com on Tuesday, with the price set at $29.99.
Black Widow opened in theaters and was released on Disney Plus on July 9 but fans decided not to come out and watch the movie.
The flick opened to $80 million but its second weekend dropped a massive 67.8%, and the movie is presently the worst-performing Marvel movie of all time with a mere $350 million worldwide box office.
To boot, Disney also confirmed that less than 2% of its subscribers paid for Black Widow on Disney Plus.
The Black Widow Rotten Tomatoes score also stands at an 80%, on par with Captain Marvel (79%), The Avengers 2 (76%), Iron Man 3 (79%), Captain America: The First Avenger (80%), and Thor (77%).
As a result of the poor performing box office, Scarlett Johansson has decided to sue Disney over releasing the movie on Disney Plus, which she claims is not what is in her contract and that it negatively impacted the box office, as Johansson claims she was guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release.
