Michael biopic to potential hit 0 million in box office

‘Michael’ is moonwalking its way to global domination, with industry estimates suggesting the biopic is eyeing a massive worldwide launch north of $100 million.

Full story below…

Powered by serious international heat and strong domestic previews, the Antoine Fuqua-directed film is shaping up to be an undeniable smash.

In the U.S., the film led by Jaafar Jackson pulled an impressive $12.6 million from Thursday (April 23) previews alone, putting it shoulder to shoulder with heavy hitters like ‘Oppenheimer.’ Overseas, it’s already racked up $18.5 million after opening midweek, breaking records across the UK, France, Italy, and beyond.

Projections now place its domestic debut above $70 million, which would see it surpass ‘Straight Outta Compton’ as the biggest opening ever for a music biopic.

With global appeal that mirrors Michael Jackson‘s own reach, ‘Michael’ is setting the stage for a box office run that could rival the genre’s biggest.
