## Resource

Michael Jackson’s biopic just shattered records, becoming the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time with over $932 million worldwide—surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody and Lionsgate’s own record holder, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. It opened with a staggering $97 million domestically, and continues to draw millions weekly thanks to its digital release. Despite mixed critical reviews, audiences gave it an A-minus CinemaScore, proving its emotional pull. With a reported $155–200 million budget, the film’s success is even more impressive. Plans for a sequel are already underway, as the director has enough footage to explore Michael’s later years—and the movie’s global haul is still climbing toward the $1 billion mark.
