The film, directed by Antoine Fuqua, has surpassed Warner Bros.' 'Elvis' to claim the No. 2 spot among musical biopics, behind only 'Bohemian Rhapsody', fueled by strong international holds.

Domestically, it reached $129.8 million by the end of its first week, for a global cumulative of over $299 million as of Thursday—pushing past the $300 million mark per box office tracking.
