SHAMONE!!!
Absolute INSANITY as Actuals came 3M higher for KING OF POP #MichaelJacksonâs music biopic #MICHAEL at Global #BoxOffice!
SPECTACULAR 60.6M overseas on 4th weekend (vs #BohemianRhapsodyâs 38M, #Oppenheimerâs 30.9M), just a -0.2% drop, for a 424M intl. cume over 82 markets, with #Russia on MAY 28 & #Japan on JUN 12 yet to join.
Allied to its 282.8M cume in the U.S., the biopic with a 200M production price tag not including marketing hits a 706.8M global cume (vs #BohemianRhapsodyâs 472M, #Oppenheimerâs 648.1M at same point)
It passes #ProjectHailMary as #2 highest grossing film of 2026 globally so far!
900M+ locked!đwith the 1B mark now relying on #Japan & #Russiaâs performances.
Eyeing a 950M-1B until we see how how comparable to #BohemianRhapsodyâs its performances in #Russia (where BohRhap grossed 16.4M) & #Japan (where BohRhap grossed 115.7M) end up being.
With a weekend of 84M+ (Deadline) Michael should have already crossed 700 Million worldwide. Depending on how much it made by the end of Thursday iâm going to guess that it has around 708-712M by the end of today.
On track to pass 800M & maybe reach 900M at this rate next week
Itâs DONE â
