Still needs a 52% jump to beat Bohemian Rhapsody worldwide
Bohemian Rhapsody is the highest-grossing music biopic ever at the worldwide box office. The movie grossed $911.0 million worldwide during its theatrical run. Michael still needs around $311 million to match Bohemian Rhapsody‘s worldwide total. It requires a 52% jump to surpass Bohemian Rhapsody’s global haul and become the all-time highest-grossing music biopic.
Michael still dominates the worldwide box office and is tracking to gross around $1 billion in its theatrical run. Therefore, the Jaafar Jackson starrer is expected to surpass Bohemian Rhapsody to achieve the #1 crown. It could also be the only music biopic to surpass $1 billion at the worldwide box office. Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua, was released on April 24.
