“Michael,” the Michael Jackson biopic starring Jaafar Jackson and directed by Antoine Fuqua, becomes the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, surpassing “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Multiple outlets report the film has reached about $911.9 million worldwide, overtaking the earlier record-holder. Billboard specifies the domestic and international totals as $358.6 million domestically and $553.3 million internationally, which together align with the reported global figure. Earlier reporting on “Bohemian Rhapsody” positions it as the prior top performer among musician biopics, with Rami Malek’s portrayal of Freddie Mercury and the film’s major awards noted in some coverage. Several sources also reference companies behind the release, including Lionsgate and Universal. NME and other outlets additionally state that a sequel is in the works, indicating the franchise may continue beyond the current film’s run. Overall, sources converge on the same key point: “Michael” has surpassed “Bohemian Rhapsody” at the box office to set a new high-water mark for the category.
