Opening weekend estimates for Marvel Studios’ “Black Widow” took a hit after Saturday grosses were lower than expected, but the Scarlett Johansson spy/superhero film still has the largest post-pandemic launch to date at $80 million from 4,160 screens.
Just as notable is Disney’s announcement that the Marvel film earned over $60 million worldwide from its Premier Access program, which made “Black Widow” available at home for Disney+ subscribers for $30. This is the first time Disney has released any PVOD numbers since “Mulan” moved from theaters to Premier Access last summer, with the studio retaining all revenue from those PVOD sales as opposed to splitting it with theaters.
