‘Michael’ Reclaims No. 1 at Box Office in Fourth Weekend, Nears $612 Million Worldwide

Strong word of mouth is keeping the Michael Jackson biopic in front of newer releases.

Overview

  • The film returned to No. 1 in its fourth weekend with a $7 million Friday and a projected $25–28 million weekend that would push domestic totals past $280 million.
  • Trade tallies put the global haul over $600 million, with several outlets citing about $611.7 million to date.
  • North America has contributed roughly $250 million, while international markets have added more than $350 million.
  • The Devil Wears Prada 2 is estimated to drop 52% to about $20 million this weekend, bringing its U.S. total near $177 million as the two titles compete for premium screens.
  • Audience scores are far stronger than reviews, and reports credit repeat visits and large-scale musical numbers for the film’s staying power.
