The Michael Jackson biographical film Michael has become the highest-grossing biopic in box office history, earning $977 million worldwide and surpassing the previous record held by Oppenheimer.
The achievement marks a significant milestone for the music biopic genre, which has seen growing commercial interest in recent years. Michael now stands as the benchmark for biographical films at the global box office, outpacing Christopher Nolan’s 2023 blockbuster Oppenheimer, which had set a formidable standard for the category.
The film’s $977 million haul places it among the most commercially successful productions in recent memory, regardless of genre.
