Latest News About Michael Jackson Biopic Box Office

Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting:

• The Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, opened in theaters on April 24, 2026, and dominated the domestic box office on its opening weekend, with industry estimates placing the U.S. take around $97 million and global totals near $80–85 million by Sunday, April 26. These figures suggest a very strong start for a biopic in 2026.
• Early international markets contributed significantly, with previews and Thursday/Friday results driving a global opening that many trackers expected to reach the high hundreds of millions range as the weekend progressed.
• Industry outlets highlighted the film’s record-breaking opening for a biopic, noting the combination of strong overseas demand and high public interest in Jaafar Jackson’s portrayal of Michael Jackson.
