Antoine Fuqua’s biopic, *Michael*, is performing exceptionally well at the North American box office. Directed by Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, the film has quickly climbed to become one of the top five highest-grossing music biopics of all time within its first week. It has surpassed notable biopics like *8 Mile* (Eminem, $116.7M) and *Walk the Line* (Joaquin Phoenix, $119.5M), with domestic earnings of $123.3M after six days. On its first Wednesday, it earned $7.3M, ranking seventh among April releases and placing it fourth among all-time first-Wednesday biopic earnings. Internationally, the film has accumulated $154.5M, bringing its total global gross to $277.7M. Projections suggest it will cross the $300M milestone this weekend. Released on April 24, the film celebrates the life of the iconic pop star, reinforcing its place in cinematic history and the enduring appeal of biographical storytelling.
