The Michael Jackson musical biopic “Michael” is set to debut on streaming via STARZ on August 10, following a record-setting theatrical run. The film, directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, stars Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop and covers major stages of Jackson’s career. After its release on April 24, “Michael” reaches more than $1 billion in worldwide box office revenue, with sources describing it as one of 2026’s biggest films and the highest-grossing movie for Lionsgate. Deadline also notes that the movie’s move to streaming/linear comes after a 108-day theatrical window. In reporting on box office performance, outlets cite domestic opening figures and worldwide totals, including $217 million worldwide at one point, and highlight its status as a standout musical biopic. The STARZ release date means the film becomes available for streaming and related linear distribution shortly after its theatrical engagement ends.
