Summary
Michael Jackson’s biopic Michael just shattered box office records, becoming the first music biopic—and the first biopic ever—to gross over $1 billion worldwide. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, the film has surged past Bohemian Rhapsody and Oppenheimer to claim the top spot for highest-grossing biopic, fueled by global audiences in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Despite mixed critical reviews, its A-minus CinemaScore and massive overseas success prove Jackson’s enduring global appeal. Lionsgate, which previously lacked major theatrical hits, is now riding a stock surge thanks to this triumph—and has already greenlit a sequel using existing footage, set to explore Jackson’s later career.
