The biographical film Michael has grossed more than $977 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing biographical film on record and one of the top-performing releases of 2026.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua and distributed by Lionsgate in the United States, the movie follows Jackson's rise from the Jackson 5 era through the Bad World Tour. Critics praised lead performances even as some reviews questioned the narrative scope.
A sequel is reported to be in development as the film continues to perform strongly in international markets.
