The 2026 Michael Jackson biopic Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, became a historic commercial juggernaut despite a mixed critical reception.
Earning over $1 billion worldwide on a roughly $155–200 million budget, it shattered records as the highest-grossing biopic ever (surpassing Oppenheimer) and the top-grossing music biopic (overtaking Bohemian Rhapsody), while also giving Lionsgate its first billion-dollar title.
The film launched with a massive $217 million global opening and ultimately grossed around $372.3 million domestically, powered by strong audience scores and exceptional international returns across dozens of territories.
