A biopic just knocked Oppenheimer off its throne, and the numbers are wild. Michael, the Michael Jackson film, pulled in USD $977 million worldwide, edging past Nolan's Oppenheimer and its $975 million to grab the all-time biopic crown.

It also became the biggest release Lionsgate has ever put out, topping Catching Fire's $865 million, and it had already smoked Bohemian Rhapsody's $911 million for the music-biopic record. Domestically, $370.2 million landed in North America, while $607.2 million came from overseas.

Critics were not vibing with it, parking a 38% score against a 97% audience rating, yet ticket buyers clearly did not care.

The catalog went off, hard. Jackson's streams nearly doubled, jumping 95%, and his Spotify monthly listeners climbed from roughly 68 million to 73 million, resting at 108 million as of writing. Billie Jean even clawed back to No. 1 on the Global chart.

Antoine Fuqua directed, and the singer's real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson, headlines his acting debut, with Colman Domingo and Nia Long cast as his parents.
