Considering how well Disney makes with each new huge release, we doubt they were bothered by Thompson’s wig cost for too long.
Sorry to Bother You writer-director Boots Riley told Huffington Post about the fiasco, admitting that he felt a little guilty about it.
The Marvel film had a $180 million budget and has scored $853 million worldwide, so Tessa Thompson’s wig should have barely made a dent in Disney’s wallet.
In comparison, Sorry to Bother You cost just $3.2 million to make and barely cracked $15 million in earnings despite its critical acclaim and public support from Get Out director, Jordan Peele, who bought out an entire theater in Los Angeles to show his love for it.
