As of April 26, 2026, the film has grossed approximately $97 million domestically and $120.37 million internationally, totaling $217.37 million in its opening revenue. Michael (2026) is already making its mark financially, beating box office records for both biopics in general and the musical variety of the genre. The film has more than surpassed The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) for top performer of the weekend, breaking the film’s three-week streak.
While the film has received generally poor reviews from critics, earning a 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, its audience score is phenomenal at 97%, and its IMDb rating is currently at 7.7 out of 10. The general public is showing up and making their opinions known early on in the film’s theatrical run. Michael was released on April 24, 2026. It is a biopic that focuses on the life and career of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Starting in 1966 with the formation of the Jackson 5, the film shows how his career evolved right until the “Bad” tour, specifically the Wembley Stadium performances. It will be in theaters for the time being, ticket availability varying by specific theaters. You'll have to wait until the summer to stream the biopic on Prime Video.
