@PittsburghPrice@jabwap_arnee@FilmUpdates Mmm, well if we want to get into that, inflation plays a key factor where the price of yesterday would be worth the price of today in value, essentially.
Also, people still were willing to pay that much to see it, therefore people saw the value enough to do so. Just my take.
@notnijiatall@PopBase The irony is they did Michael like that when he was alive. Trying to downplay his star power and claim he wasn’t as big of the star he once was. Yet every time, he proceeds to break records. LMAO even after almost two decades of his passing. That’s insane and unheard of.
@PittsburghPrice@jabwap_arnee@FilmUpdates I can always be wrong of course, but that’s how I view it. I don’t think the cost really changes anything unless the margin was insanely out of proportion to inflation 😁
I am the Gen Z you speak of btw! Can’t count Michael out. Especially as a fan, you know :)
MICHAEL has crossed the $900M mark at the global box office this morning.
It’s finally releasing in Japan this Friday, where it’s projected to hit ~$10M on its opening weekend.
“Leave Me Alone” was a surreal, satirical critique of tabloid culture that still feels ahead of its time. Michael turned media scrutiny into one of the most creative music videos of his career.
Looking at this timeline, it’s hard not to think about how much of Michael Jackson’s life was spent working. The catalog is incredible, but so is the reality that he was overworked from childhood.
in comparison both oppenheimer and bohemian rhapsody remained in theaters for over 5 months yet neither reached $1B.
Michael is only 2 months into its release and has already made $850M+ without Japan
