Michael becomes the highest-grossing biopic of all time

The biographical film 'Michael' has become the highest-grossing biopic of all time, surpassing $977 million worldwide. It has overtaken Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer,' which previously held the record for the most successful biographical film. The movie follows Michael Jackson's life from his early days with the Jackson 5 through his rise to global stardom as the 'King of Pop.' Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film features Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson's nephew, in the lead role. While the film includes many of Michael Jackson's iconic songs, it does not address the allegations of misconduct against him, ending around 1988 before those claims were made. Producer Graham King stated that the film focuses on the uplifting aspects of Jackson's triumphs. Lionsgate is expected to greenlight at least one additional film about Jackson's life.
