The Michael Jackson biopic Michael, starring his nephew Jaafar Jackson, overcame production issues and negative reviews to debut with a record-breaking $97 million domestic opening and $217.4 million worldwide, making it the biggest musical biopic launch ever and the second-largest opening of 2026. Originally intended to include dramatizations of abuse allegations, the film underwent major reshoots due to legal restrictions and ultimately focuses on Jackson’s musical career and relationship with his father, drawing criticism for avoiding controversies. Despite poor critical reception, audiences responded positively, giving it an A- CinemaScore and turning screenings into lively celebrations, suggesting strong fan appeal. Its success positions it for a potential sequel, though it remains uncertain whether future installments will address Jackson’s legal controversies or if the film can contend during the 2027 awards season.
