Which one is 2nd then?Make no mistake 500 million would be a big success. Out of all the biopics only the Queen one will have performed better at the box office. In 3rd place comes Elvis with 300+ million.

I think he means MJ will be second so it pushes Elvis into 3rd.Which one is 2nd then?
Hmm, is it not realistic to expect Michael to outdo Bohemian?I think he means MJ will be second so it pushes Elvis into 3rd.
You can play him, I'll ask Branca right nowI wonder who's gonna play Bashir? Maybe Rowan Atkinson?

I don’t think it is. BR almost passed the billion mark which is nothing short of a miracle for a non franchise film. This only happens to the really big titles like Jurassic Park, Marvel, Avatar etc. It only happened 54 times I think in movie history.Hmm, is it not realistic to expect Michael to outdo Bohemian?
Queen's been doing well in the last decade a lot because of the biopic, for sure. Of course there is a difference, because MJ is not alive and Queen is still active. However, they definitely expect MJ's biopic to do better then Queen's. One indication of that is how much they spent on each movie:I don’t think it is.

Furthermore Queen is quite simply outperforming MJ for at least a decade now. They have the largest variety of songs played on the radio (at least in my country). They have 4 songs on Spotify with 1 billion streams. They are constantly in the top 40 most popular artists on streaming platforms (MJ follows from a distance but still top 100).
There is no way Michael with a very damaged reputation will ever come close again to Queen regarding popularity.
What is this, optimism? Go away with that nonsense. Let's stick to the doom and gloom please.Queen's been doing well in the last decade a lot because of the biopic, for sure. Of course there is a difference, because MJ is not alive and Queen is still active. However, they definitely expect MJ's biopic to do better then Queen's. One indication of that is how much they spent on each movie:
Bohemian Rhapsody - $52 million
Michael - $150 million

There are many indications that they are expecting this to be the most successful biopic of all time. And it definitely can be.
You are not being wronged, just disagreed with. The rest of the world has high ambitions, if you don't wanna then just prepare to be on the island of isolation. You can swap with Hulkmaniac on weekends.Yeah me predicting it will make 500 million definitely sits in the category of ”doom and gloom”.
And it is regularly surpassed. Bohemian Rhapsody making what it made is the real shocker.It’s obvious a lot of you have no clue about the box office. 500 million is a massive success for a biopic, almost unprecedented. I think a lot of you need a reality check, you’re bound to get disappointed if you think this will make a billion.
Let's hope you are the disappointed one!It’s obvious a lot of you have no clue about the box office. 500 million is a massive success for a biopic, almost unprecedented. I think a lot of you need a reality check, you’re bound to get disappointed if you think this will make a billion.
I agree, it was a shock for me, especially since the film was mediocre at best.And it is regularly surpassed. Bohemian Rhapsody making what it made is the real shocker.
We will see, all I know is that reaching 1 billion happens rarely and if it happens it is for superhero films or IP’s so that certainly diminishes MJ’s chances.Bohemian Rhapsody grossed $216.7 million in the United States and Canada, and $694.1 million in other territories, for a total worldwide gross of $910.8 million, against a production budget of about $52 million.
You really mean to tell me an MJ flick can not surpass that in other territories? In Asian countries alone, his influence is bigger. In African lands. Like, come on.
Let's hope you are the disappointed one!
There are 54 movies in the billion dollar club...We will see, all I know is that reaching 1 billion happens rarely and if it happens it is for superhero films or IP’s so that certainly diminishes MJ’s chances.
Gee, I dunno, where does the most famous man in history's 150 million dollar budget biopic fit in?I agree, it was a shock for me, especially since the film was mediocre at best.
We will see, all I know is that reaching 1 billion happens rarely and if it happens it is for superhero films or IP’s so that certainly diminishes MJ’s chances.
Here is the breakdown. 14 superhero films (aimed at kids) are in the billion dollar club. 13 are animated films aimed at kids. We are halfway now. There are 5 Jurassic Park films and 5 Star Wars films among them, also arguably aimed at kids and or young adults. There are also 2 transformer films and Barbie created from super popular toylines. There is Avatar, Harry Potter and Tolkien related films
The odd one in the list is Titanic but then again it has always been a highly romanticized disaster.
Now tell me where do you see an MJ biopic fit in?
But Michael is a superheroWe will see, all I know is that reaching 1 billion happens rarely and if it happens it is for superhero films or IP’s so that certainly diminishes MJ’s chances.
When I was a kid he certainly was my superhero and not Batman!But Michael is a superhero![]()
And how does a movie break records precisely? Take a wild guess.thriller isn’t the biggest album of all time because it made the most money, it is because it sold the most records.
Do you think the character of Peter Pan should play a role in the film?
