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.
We need another one of these movies. A movie where the story of Michael is told from the perspective of his lifelong friend Bubbles the Chimp from Bubble's retirement compound in Florida.

"Jackson's housekeepers testified that they disapproved of the chimpanzee behavior. One said she had to clean feces hurled at the bedroom wall, and another described a chimpanzee tearing off his diaper before crawling into Jackson's bed."
Clearly this shows they need to expand the MCU (Michael Cinematic Universe) with more movies about Marlon, Tito, Janet, etc with Barry Gordy Jr bringing them all together for an epic final film where they team up to fight Sho'nuff, The Shogun of Harlem.
Say whatever you want about Michael Jackson as a person but Michael as a movie is very well made celebrity propaganda due to the presentation, making Jackson look like a victim himself but also a great entertainer and the fact that it ends at what can be called the peak of his career.

He was a victim in some ways. Joe Jackson was an emotional abuser, and then Michael had people controlling him his entire career. That doesn't absolve him of his own crimes that he willingly perpetrated though.

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.
