The numbers are speaking loud and clear for Michael.
Despite mixed reviews from critics, the Michael Jackson biopic is proving to be a major hit with audiences. Just three weeks after hitting theatres, the film has pulled in an impressive $577 million worldwide.
That total is enough to push Michael past Elvis, officially making it the second-highest-grossing biopic of all time. It’s a major milestone for the film, which continues to draw strong interest from fans around the globe.
Still, there’s one record it hasn’t touched—yet. Bohemian Rhapsody, the 2018 Freddie Mercury biopic, remains firmly in the top spot with over $910 million earned globally.
Whether Michael can close that gap remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: audiences are showing up in a big way.
