Michael has become Lionsgate’s biggest box‑office hit, edging toward a $900 million worldwide total and setting a new studio record. After its seventh weekend the film sits at $897.9 million worldwide, according to Deadline. The seventh‑weekend haul added $23.1 million globally, leaving the movie just shy of the $910.8 million held by Bohemian Rhapsody, the highest‑grossing music biopic.
International Performance
Internationally the film has earned $543.7 million, including $533.8 million from Universal territories. It already out‑performed Bohemian Rhapsody in comparable foreign markets and is set to open in Japan next weekend, a key step toward the $1 billion milestone.
Cast and Production Details
The biopic stars Jaafar Jackson as his famous uncle, with Antoine Fuqua directing. Colman Domingo appears as Joseph Jackson and Nia Long portrays Katherine Jackson. The production budget was reported near $200 million, shared by Lionsgate, Universal and the Jackson estate.
Future Outlook
Domestic earnings stand at $354.3 million, and a digital release is scheduled for June 9, 2026. With Japan still to open, the path to overtaking Bohemian Rhapsody looks clear.
