Dua Lipa is suing a leading electronics giant for $15 million: 5 other celebrities who took global brands to court

In July 2021, Marvel actress Scarlett Johansson filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming that Disney sacrificed ‘Black Widow”s box office potential to grow its Disney+ streaming service. In her complaint, the actress said the movie had been guaranteed an exclusive theatrical release when she signed her deal. But with the film releasing simultaneously on the streaming platform, the contract had been breached. Moreover, the move cost her the compensation she would have received from the box office revenue. While the two parties settled the matter out of court, sources told Deadline that Johansson received compensation that exceeded $40 million.
