"Michael," directed by Antoine Fuqua, follows Michael Jackson's life from childhood to the peak of his career in 1988. The film has been criticized for not addressing the pop icon's later controversies, including allegations of abuse, and has received lukewarm reviews.

But audiences have made "Michael" a mega-success. After its first weekend, the film is expected to gross 1–1.05 billion kronor in the US alone, and over 2.1 billion globally.
