Michael box office collection Day 1: Michael Jackson biopic opens better than Bohemian Rhapsody, earns over $35 million worldwide

• The MJ biopic earned $35 million worldwide on day one.
• It beat the opening numbers for Bohemian Rhapsody.
• The film looks stunning with a bright 80s aesthetic.

We just saw the box office numbers for the new Michael movie. Wow. It is a massive hit already. It earned over $35 million globally on its first day. That is incredible. It even beat the opening of the Queen movie, Bohemian Rhapsody. People really love MJ.

The movie feels like a dream. It has a very specific visual style. The colors are bold. The costumes pop on screen. It captures that 1980s aesthetic perfectly. Sucheta and Arti loved the way the stage lights looked in the trailer. It is truly a work of art.

While many people are looking up things like Eenadu or the Nepal vs UAE match, the film world is talking about this biopic. It is the biggest thing happening right now. Even with Bangladesh Women vs Sri Lanka Women playing, the King of Pop is taking over the news cycle.

The movie business can be messy, though. We recently read about the Jana Nayagan leak where an editor was suspended. That is a lot of drama. TV is also changing fast. Helena Bonham Carter is leaving The White Lotus. They are recasting her role for season four!

Sometimes the news is just sad. We were shocked to hear about Darrell Sheets from Storage Wars. He was apparently terrified for his life before he died. It is a heavy time for many fans. But MJ’s music seems to be bringing people back to the theaters.

Our Take

We think this movie is going to be huge for a long time. Michael Jackson has a vibe that no one else can copy. His dance moves and his style are iconic. It is great to see a film get the visual side of his life right. We hope the rest of the movie lives up to the hype of this first day!
