'Michael' Returns to No. 1 in North America With About $704 Million Worldwide

Premium-format runs, paired with rising streams of Michael Jackson’s music, powered the rebound.

Overview

  • Studio estimates show the biopic back at the top of the North American box office in its fourth weekend with $26.1 million.
  • The global haul stands near $703.9 million, surpassing Elvis while still trailing Bohemian Rhapsody’s $910.8 million benchmark.
  • Strong turnout for IMAX and other premium screens helped drive sales as streaming plays of Billie Jean and Thriller climbed after the film’s release.
  • In Peru the movie is nearing two million admissions and is the year’s top-grossing title so far, reflecting broad regional strength.
  • The Devil Wears Prada 2 slipped to second place, and the upcoming Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu release could shift box-office momentum next weekend.
