Michael Jackson Biopic ‘Michael’ Becomes Highest-Grossing Biopic of All-Time

‘Michael’ is dancing its way into the history books.

The Michael Jackson biopic has officially become the highest-grossing biopic of all time, surpassing the mighty box office haul of ‘Oppenheimer.’

Full story below…

Led by Jaafar Jackson in the title role, the Antoine Fuqua-directed film has amassed $977.4 million worldwide in its tenth weekend of release.

The tally puts ‘Michael’ ahead of Christopher Nolan’s Oscar-winning ‘Oppenheimer,’ which closed out its global run with $975.8 million.

Domestically, the Lionsgate film has drummed up $370.2 million, while its international total currently stands at $607.2 million.

The latest milestone comes after the movie had already moonwalked past ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ to become the highest-grossing music biopic ever. Interestingly, both films were produced by Graham King.

With ‘Michael’ still playing in theaters, all eyes are now on whether the King of Pop-centered film can cross the coveted $1 billion mark globally.

Should it do so, it would become only the second film of 2026 to hit the benchmark (after ‘Super Mario Galaxy’).
