Hollywood wasn't sure how well Michael would do at the box office.
Michael, the pop star, has a big fan base, and those fans have helped make the music biopic a major hit this year.
The movie is climbing up the worldwide box office chart. It's now in second place, pushing past Project Hail Mary. But will it reach the one billion dollar mark? And can it stay ahead of The Devil Wears Prada 2? That sequel is doing really well in international markets.
Experts who predict box office numbers think Michael might fall short of the billion dollar mark.
They say the reason is that there’s a lot of competition for the best movie screens, especially as summer movie season starts. That’s when the most money is made, especially in places like IMAX, ScreenX, and Dolby Cinema. However, for people who track box office results every week, the math is looking good. Three movies—Michael, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie—are helping bring people back to theaters.
Speaking of Michael and music biopics: Do you think it’s in the top 10 of its category, which includes films about artists like NWA, Bob Dylan, and Elvis?
