This is similar to what happened with Christopher Nolan and HBO Max.
I think some of the actors and creators on these films get a certain % of the box office and when Warner/Disney put them straight into their streaming platform that income is circumvented and goes to the studios instead.
Good for her to challenge them and all the actors/directors/other guilds need to fight back. Disney and others are trying to cut more and more people out of the income by dominating not only the production but also the distribution.
This is probably going to get bigger and messier as more and more creators fight back.
