The Michael Jackson biopic Michael launched to a projected $95 million to $100 million U.S. debut and $200 million globally, marking a major win for Lionsgate despite a 38% Rotten Tomatoes critics score. Audiences gave it a 96% approval rating, praising Jaafar Jackson's portrayal of the singer. The film ends in 1988, avoiding later abuse allegations due to legal constraints from a settlement with accuser Jordan Chandler.
The Michael Jackson biopic Michael has officially become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time after earning $911.9 million worldwide. It edges past the 2018 Freddie Mercury film Bohemian Rhapsody, which grossed $910 million.
