One white glove, one giant number: $217 million π¬π
Michael just posted the biggest opening weekend any biopic has ever had. It cleared Oppenheimer's $174 million global start, and it blew past the old music-biopic marks from Straight Outta Compton and Bohemian Rhapsody.
The scale changes the way this movie lands. Biopics usually enter the culture as prestige projects or fan service. This one arrived with full event-movie force, which says something about how much pull Michael Jackson still has on a worldwide audience.
For one weekend, a real person's story moved like franchise cinema.
