I mean, we're talking about a movie that was clearly produced just to milk the Marvel superhero franchise a bit more, vs anything really theatrically significant. For a while now, the sad reality is that Hollywood movies have been so lackluster, almost the only ones worth paying the high ticket prices to see have been the superhero themed ones. (It's a lot harder to completely screw up a comic book story than a complex novel or series of novels with extremely detailed writing.) But they've reached the saturation point on these, too.

It sounds like if that's not specified in the deal, the movie maker gets to handle that however it wishes (and you simply can't assume, anymore, that they won't just opt to simultaneously release your movie for streaming).
But I dunno. How about, make better quality movies if you want bigger profits?
Anything done by 'the CW' is going to be full of SjW crap along with touchy feely feelings discussions hogging the last 15% of the episode. Im pretty sure their only viewing audience is sophomore females in High School, and former readers of the Twilight book series.
It wasn't a bad movie, it just came at the wrong time. With the Thanos saga and original Avengers stories wrapped up they made this movie about setting up Black Widow's replacement in the franchise, rather than setting her up like they did with all the other solo Avengers movies.
For whatever reason they didn't seem to think that Black Widow (the character) would be popular and didn't bother giving her solo stuff like Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk and even Dr. Strange got. Once they realized that the

Batwoman, Supergirl, Bat vs Sup, Captain Marvel and anything done by Amazon beg to differ.

The first 3 quarters of the movie were good. The last quarter was so bad, I'll probably never watch it again

Ya see kids, back in King TJ's day, there were so many more cinematic masterpieces that today's Marvel drivel just can't compete with.
Commando. Twins. Howard The Duck. Karate Kid 3. The Super Mario Brothers Movie. Tango and Cash. Ishtar. Home Alone.
The 80s were a magical fantasyland of pure artistic cinema, and kids these days just can't handle it.
