The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic, starring Jaafar Jackson, is expected to break records with a projected opening weekend of $150 million. This would surpass the current record held by Bohemian Rhapsody and Elvis, and even beat the film's own predicted domestic start of $65-70 million. Despite receiving negative early reviews, the film's advance booking projections remain strong, defying critics' opinions.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, Michael chronicles the life of Michael Jackson from his early years with the Jackson 5 to his superstardom with Thriller. The film features original music from Michael Jackson and scratch recreations by Jaafar. It is set to release in theatres on April 24.
