Sorry, but this guy is not a Wong Kar Wai incarnation. And Mahershala Ali played only a weak Omar Little incarnation (the Wire). Moonlight is not a bad film, but Jesus, get a life, it's not original of life like or more than a Disney fantasy in L.A.
It's maybe for most a kind of urban Jesus Christ Superstar without the songs or originality.

Not sure this information is completely accurate or relevant, 'cause there are far bigger earners in the picture. Financing costs are usually 40-60 percent of a blockbusters budget. So before anything has started/the first day of principal photography, agents and bankers and so already have gotten their fair share.
