'Michael' Reigns! Michael Jackson Biopic Surges Past $700 Million at Global Box Office

Michael Jackson continues to prove his enduring global pull.

For, blockbuster biopic ‘Michael’ has officially crossed the $700 million mark worldwide and is showing no signs of slowing down.

Full story below…

In a major feat for the Jaafar Jackson-led movie, the film powered its way back to #1 globally in its fourth weekend of release, pulling in another $57.7 million internationally.

To date, ‘Michael’ has grossed a gargantuan $703 million worldwide, including $421 million overseas and $282 million domestically.

The movie’s continued momentum is especially notable given that one of Jackson’s strongest global markets, Japan, has not even opened yet.

As such, industry watchers are already speculating that the Antoine Fuqua-directed feature could surpass ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’’s $911 million total to become the highest-grossing musical biopic in history.

The latest box office victory also caps off a huge resurgence period for Jackson’s catalog overall, with streams and album sales continuing to soar in the wake of the film’s release.

    Are we going to get an update every other day? We get it, it’s doing well at the box office. That’s not a reflection on what critics are actually saying about the actual storyline – where’s the TGJ review?
