CroatiaThe biographical film 'Michael,' directed by Antoine Fuqua, has become the most profitable biographical film of all time, earning $977 million worldwide. It surpassed Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' and previously broke records set by 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' The film chronicles the life of late American singer Michael Jackson, from his early days in the Jackson 5 to his status as the King of Pop. Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film features Jaafar Jackson as Michael Jackson, alongside Colman Domingo and Nia Long portraying his parents. After its April premiere, 'Michael' earned $217 million globally in its first week, surpassing previous musical biographies like 'Straight Outta Compton' and 'Bohemian Rhapsody.' Despite 'Oppenheimer' benefiting from the viral phenomenon 'Barbenheimer,' 'Michael' managed to outperform it financially. While praised by fans for its portrayal of Jackson's childhood and iconic performances, critics have criticized the film for avoiding sensitive topics such as allegations of sexual abuse against Jackson, which were omitted due to contractual confidentiality agreements. The film received mixed reviews, with some calling it a 'sanitized' version of Jacksons
