April 28, LNW (Colombo): The legendary King of Pop, Michael Jackson, has once again come alive before the world. But this time, not on a stage – on the big screen. His new musical biographical film is capturing hearts worldwide and rewriting box office history.
From its very first weekend, the film generated massive revenue, marking the biggest opening ever for a biographical movie. Praise from both critics and fans has played a major role in its success.
Celebrated globally as the “King of Pop,” Jackson’s timeless songs, iconic dance moves, and extraordinary life are brought to life in cinematic form. Legendary tracks like Thriller, Billie Jean, and Beat It are reintroduced in fresh, captivating ways, delivering a powerful musical experience for audiences.
Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, takes on the role of Michael, impressing viewers with his performance.
Since its release last Wednesday, the film has already grossed approximately $217 million (£160 million) worldwide.
Previously, the 2018 Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody – featuring Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury – held the record for the highest opening for a music biopic, debuting with $124 million.
However, “Michael” has now surpassed even the $180 million milestone set by Oppenheimer.
Blending musical brilliance, dramatic storytelling, and advanced cinematic techniques, this film is poised to become a landmark production that paves the way for future works in the genre.
