The revenue comes from global ticket sales, making it the first biographical film ever to reach that level.

Despite reports of behind-the-scenes problems and mixed reviews, the film has been a huge box office success since its premiere in April.

“Michael” has now surpassed “Bohemian Rhapsody” as the highest-grossing music biopic and has also surpassed “Oppenheimer” as the most successful film based on a real person.

Film company Lionsgate is expected to give the go-ahead for at least one sequel about the life of Michael Jackson.
