“Michael” Back At No. 1 Movie + Hits $700 Million Globally

“Michael,” a biopic about the musical icon, has cleared a major box office milestone with more than $700 million globally. Over the weekend, the film returned to No. 1 at the international box office with $57.7 million from 83 foreign markets. The crowd-pleaser — distributed by Universal internationally and Lionsgate domestically — moved and grooved back to first place on domestic and global charts as well, a remarkable feat in its fourth weekend of release. So far, “Michael” has generated a towering $703 million worldwide, including $421 million overseas and $282 million domestically. With one significant market — Japan — yet to open, “Michael” could eclipse 2018’s sensation “Bohemian Rhapsody” ($911 million) to stand as the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time.
