“Michael” overtakes “Oppenheimer” to become the highest-grossing biopic of all time, according to multiple reports. The film’s total box-office performance moves it past the previous benchmark set by “Oppenheimer,” establishing it as the new top performer in the biopic category. Both outlets also note that the movie’s commercial success follows a rapid run in theaters, with earlier milestones reached shortly before this new record. In particular, one source adds that “Michael” also becomes the highest-grossing music biopic, surpassing “Bohemian Rhapsody,” which previously held the top position within that subcategory. Alongside the record-breaking box-office numbers, the reports describe the film as receiving widespread praise, while also acknowledging that it remains controversial. Together, the accounts frame “Michael” as both a critical success among some audiences and a subject of debate, while emphasizing its new standing at the top of box-office rankings for biopics overall and for music biopics in particular.
