According to TorrentFreak, &#8220;<em>Black Widow<\/em> overtook<strong> Amazon<\/strong>&#8216;s<strong><em> The Tomorrow War <\/em><\/strong>as the most pirated film on the internet.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Without a doubt, the movie would generate more income without piracy, however, it&#8217;s the first movie to kick-start <strong>Marvel<\/strong>&#8216;s phase 4 of the MCU and still manage to break box office records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the dual release in theatres and streaming services, piracy has increased massively. <strong>National Association of Theatre Owners<\/strong> (NATO), in a recent document made it clear that an &#8220;exclusive theatrical release means more revenue for all stakeholders..&#8221; and that Black Widow could have made up to &#8220;$92 to $100 million&#8221; on opening weekend, instead of $80 million. This clearly shows that a simultaneous release with the addition of piracy is not the best way forward as it reduces overall revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/terrigen-cdn-dev.marvel.com\/content\/prod\/1x\/bw_marvel_template_lob_mas_mob.jpg\" alt=\"Black Widow (Movie, 2021) | Trailer, Release Date, &amp; More | Marvel\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Natasha Romanoff&#8217;s<\/strong> story picks up after<strong><em> Captain America: Civil War<\/em><\/strong> and before <strong><em>Avengers: Infinity War<\/em><\/strong> where she has to face her past that she has kept a mystery for many years.
