Monday, April 27, 2026- The Michael biopic is dominating the global box office, surging toward a historic opening week after an explosive debut.
The film pulled in around $97 million in North America and over $217 million worldwide in its opening weekend alone—already making it the biggest debut ever for a musical biopic and one of the strongest openings of 2026.
Industry analysts say the film is now on track to extend that momentum into a record-breaking opening week, fueled by massive fan turnout and strong international demand. It has already outperformed past hits like Bohemian Rhapsody and Elvis, signaling a major shift in how music-driven films perform at the box office.
Despite mixed critical reviews and ongoing controversy surrounding Michael Jackson’s legacy, audiences are driving the film’s success with overwhelming support. Studios are already eyeing a sequel as momentum builds, turning what began as a risky project into one of the year’s biggest cinematic events.
