In a first for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the film opened simultaneously in theatres and on Disney Plus as part of the streaming service’s Premier Access offering, where subscribers can rent Black Widow for an extra $30. Disney reported that Black Widow generated more than $60 million “in Disney Plus Premier Access consumer spend globally,” marking the rare occasion in which a studio discloses revenues for digital rentals. Overseas, Black Widow collected $78 million in its debut, boosting its global box-office haul to $158 million.
