Michael has emerged as Lionsgate’s biggest film ever, collecting a staggering $898 million at the global box office. With the coveted $1 billion milestone now within reach, all eyes are on its final run. Can Michael make history and become Lionsgate’s first billion-dollar blockbuster? The countdown has begun.
Who could have predicted that the very film critics were quick to write off with a 38% score would end up outpacing both Oppenheimer and Bohemian Rhapsody at the same stage of its box-office run? Michael, the long-awaited biopic of the King of Pop, has barely given the box office a moment to breathe, marching its way to a staggering million worldwide haul. And with Japan still awaiting its release, the road to $1 billion is beginning to look so inevitable that critics may soon need something stronger than a tissue to cope.
Michael moonwalks past yet another box office milestone
Following its sixth weekend in theaters, Michael has surged to an impressive $851 million worldwide, comfortably outperforming both Oppenheimer ($777 million) and Bohemian Rhapsody ($539 million). The achievement is particularly striking given the film's enormous $200 million production budget, making it the most expensive music biopic ever produced. Currently, Michael stands as the second highest-grossing film of 2026 worldwide, trailing only The Super Mario Galaxy Movie's massive billion dollar-plus haul.
Yet what once appeared to be a costly risk has rapidly transformed into one of 2026's biggest box-office success stories, with the film having already amassed a staggering $430.4 million globally by the end of just its second weekend. Fresh off a No. 1 debut in Russia, Michael now turns its attention to Japan, officially releasing nationwide in Japan on Friday, June 12, 2026. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the biopic follows Jackson's journey from The Jackson 5 to the heights of Thriller-era superstardom, concluding in 1988 before the controversies of his later years enter the picture.
While Michael is yet to moonwalk past The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, it has already danced its way past some of 2026's biggest box-office contenders.
Who the fuck is even watching these musician biopics? I swear they keep shitting them out every year and they say they're topping charts, but I don't know a single person who actually watches them. Its always the same movie too: musician was poor, father abused them, they worked really hard until some jewish radio host gave them a chance, they become famous, relationship drama that suspiciously makes them the good guy, unsatisfying ending.
The biopic genre has convinced me all musicians are just 3D printed in a factory somewhere in Arkansas.
-Turn Michael back into a money printing machine despite the fact he can't make new music
-Give old Michael fans the equivalent of a new Michael Jackson concert
-Create a new generation of fans for a man who's been dead for almost 20 years
-Set Jafaar up as a new (living) Michael Jackson by having him learn Michael's moves so he can continue making new music and money after the Michael hype dies down

Boomers. Boomers love these sloppy retarded things that remind them how much they fucked over their own kids. Like I watched Michael Jackson in concert or something like that.

As a boomer I haven’t seen the movie. But round these here parts you know who was going to see it? Kids. Kids in the age 10 to 14 age group (whether they were allowed in the cinema or not) were going absolutely mental for it when it came out, I’ve had to suffer non-stop Blame it on the Boogie and Billie Jean for over a month.
I dare say the grown ups were watching on the big screen too but it was a definite playground phenomenon upon release. (Although for ‘tweens’ the whole 80’s vibe seems to be really popular in general).
