"Michael" Becomes Highest-Grossing Music Biopic, Surpassing "Bohemian Rhapsody"
The Michael Jackson biopic "Michael," directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, has become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, earning approximately USD 911.9 million worldwide since its April 24 release. It surpassed the global box office totals of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and the 2022 "Elvis" biopic. Produced by Graham King, the film traces Jackson's rise to fame but omits the sexual abuse allegations against him. It continues its theatrical run and is approaching the USD 1 billion mark.
