MIchael package power: The biopic Michael, well-nigh Michael glenda jackson, is releasing in theatres this fri. The film, which stars the Prince of Pop’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, in the lead role, has faced negative early reviews. But that has not seemed to dampen its prospects at the box office. Trade analysts are bullish about Michael’s prospects at the ticket window, predicting a genre-defining start globally.Michael box office predictionAccording to multiple leading Hollywood box-office watchers, Michael is expected to earn $65-70 million in North America in its opening weekend. Both Deadline and Variety put similar estimates for the film’s domestic start. This will be a new record for any musical biopic. Freddie Mercury’s biopic Bohemian Rhapsody opened at $51 million in 2018, while Straight Outta Compton, the 2015 film on hip-hop group NWA, had a start of $62 million. Michael is certain to surpass them both, even by conservative estimates.Overseas, where Lionsgate has sold the film to Universal, Michael is expected to more than double its box office earnings. Trade estimates put its worldwide opening weekend at $140-150 million, again a record for the genre. Bohemian Rhapsody owns that record with its $121 million debut in 2018. Elvis Presley’s biopic, Elvis, failed to touch the $100 million mark, as did The Complete Unknown, based on the life of Bob Dylan.Michael battles bad early reviewsBohemian Rhapsody, which starred Rami Malek, remains the highest-grossing musical biopic in history, with a lifetime gross of $910 million. Trade insiders are projecting Michael to beat that mark, and maybe even push for a billion-dollar run at the box office. But standing in its way are negative early reviews. The film has a measly 36% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes (up from 27% on Tuesday). This can hamper word of mouth, but the early advance booking projections defy the critics’ reviews.All about MichaelDirected by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, Michael also stars Nia Long, Laura Harrier, Miles Teller, and Colman Domingo. The film chronicles Michael Jackson's journey from Gary, Indiana, to global superstar, featuring his early years with the Jackson 5, his breakthrough album Off The Wall, and his superstardom with Thriller. Featuring original music from Michael Jackson and scratch recreations by Jaafar, the film releases in theatres on April 24.
