The Michael Jackson Biopic Is 65 Million Dollars From Making History

In 2018, Bohemian Rhapsody made $911 million. The industry said that record would stand for a generation. For 8 years, every music biopic tried to reach it. Elvis got to $288M. Rocketman got to $195M. Nobody came close. Then Michael Jackson's biopic opened to $97M — nearly double Bohemian Rhapsody's opening. It's now at $846M. The gap is $65 million. Japan hasn't opened yet. And the number above Bohemian Rhapsody's record — the one no music film has ever reached — is now being discussed seriously for the first time. This is the full breakdown.
