The Michael Jackson biopic "Michael," directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson, blasted past expectations with a record-shattering $97 million domestic opening weekend gross from April 24-26, securing its lock as the biggest debut ever for a music biopic and eclipsing predecessors like "Bohemian Rhapsody." Massive $12.6 million in Wednesday-Thursday previews and a $39.5 million Friday fueled the surge, driven by die-hard fan turnout that shrugged off production controversies and middling reviews, with global earnings hitting $217 million. Trader consensus reflects confirmed studio tallies from Deadline and others, leaving negligible room for upset barring unprecedented final adjustments—markets now eye multiverse longevity against holdover competition like "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie."
