Michael: Box office success and what was it about?
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, Michael had an unprecedented run at the box office. The film tells the story of the pop star, from his time in his family's band, The Jackson 5, to exploring his career as a solo artist, his early hits, and eventually taking the world by storm with his superhits.
In July, the movie finally entered the billion-dollar club as it earned $1 billion at the worldwide box office. These box office figures were beyond what anyone expected from the movie at the time of its release in April. This was Lionsgate's first film to achieve this milestone. The movie earned $371.8 million domestically and $629.8 million globally. With this, the movie also became the highest-grossing biopic, surpassing the 2018 Freddie Mercury biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. Apart from Jaafar, the movie stars Juliano Krue Valdi as a younger version of Michael. Nia Long stars as Katherine Jackson, Colman Domingo portrays the family patriarch, Joe Jackson. The film also features Miles Teller as lawyer-manager John Branca, Laura Harrier as producer Suzanne de Passe.
