And Michael beats Queen. “Michael,” the biopic about the life of the King of Pop, has officially become the most-watched musical biopic ever. The news was reported by Deadline, one of the most authoritative and influential newspapers in Hollywood, which anticipated the updates relating to the worldwide earnings of the film about Michael Jackson: with 911.9 million dollars grossed worldwide since its release, which took place last April 24, “Michael” officially enters history. “Bohemian Rhapsody”, Bryan Singer’s film about the rise of Freddie Mercury and his Queen, “stopped” at $910.8 million in takings in 2018.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” grossed eighteen times the sum invested to make it, which was between 50 and 55 million dollars. “Michael” instead grossed about six times the budget with which it was shot, between 155 and 200 million dollars.

According to Deadline, “Michael” grossed $358.6 million in the US and another $553.3 million worldwide. “Bohemian Rhapsody” grossed $216.6 million in the US in 2018 and $694.3 million abroad.

“Michael” will have a sequel. The film directed by Antoine Fuqua, starring the nephew of the voice of “Thriller”, Jaafar Jackson, ends in 1988, with images of the “Bad World tour” concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
