The biographical film "Michael" about Michael Jackson became the highest-grossing film based on real events, collecting $977 million at the global box office, reports Variety.
It surpassed the record of "Oppenheimer" (2023), which earned $975 million, and also became the highest-grossing musical biopic, surpassing "Bohemian Rhapsody" (2018) with a result of $911 million.
In addition, "Michael" set a record for opening weekend box office receipts among musical biopics, earning $97 million in the US and $217 million worldwide in its first weekend.
In total, by the evening of June 28, "Michael" had collected $607.2 million outside the US, and $370.2 million at the American box office.
The film by director Antoine Fuqua tells the creative journey of Michael Jackson from performing with the Jackson 5 to his status as the "King of Pop." The lead role was played by the singer's nephew Jaafar Jackson, and the Jackson family partially financed the filming.
Critics call the film very saccharine. It completely bypasses the issue of sexualized violence against children that Michael Jackson was accused of.
