If by "Acclaimed" you mean the mainstream media treatment of them and nothing else, then sure. But there's no evidence to suggest the Beatles are even more revered than Queen let alone Michael who is universally considered the greatest artist of all time
It will make a billion or two at the box office, and spike sales to the level of the first couple years after his death. I'm sure vultures will release another hit piece on him afterwards and we'll go back to the same old shit. He can't be cancelled, nor is it even possible for him to be anymore popular than being Michael Jackson
Vultures releasing another hit piece called Leaving Neverland 2?
Technically Robson and Safechuck are the final straw, in a ideal world the whole thing dies when they get fucked in court which happens before the Biopic and we can finally let the whole thing burn while Michael goes back to 2009-18 all over again. But i have no faith that something else isn't conjured up or the thing doesn't get dragged out for far too long
Let's finish the fuckery once and for all!!!!
A billion or two at the box office?
Queen did 900 million, and Michael is about 1000x more popular and famous than them. So yeah it would be stupid to expect anything less
Jesus Christ is more famous than both of them and for many centuries before any members of the Jackson 5 or Queen existed. But a Jesus movie isn't going to make a billion either. But I'd guess all of the Christian churches in the world added together probably make billions.
That's highly unlikely as Missionary groups were complaining just a few years ago that so few people knew who Jesus was compared to something like Coca Cola.
It will do at minimum 500 million, anything else depends on whether the estate fucks it up or not.
If there are around 8 billion people on earth and 3.3 billion have not heard of Jesus, then that means that there are 4,700,000,000 who have. How is that "so few people"? Anyway I said that Jesus is more famous than Queen & Michael Jackson not Coke. I'd guess Coke is more well known than Mike & Queen too. So what's your point?
Invincible sold 5.4 Million in 2 1/2 months without any promotion from Sony. How is that not a huge fucking hit?
Almost like not promoting someone's album and cutting funding for the marketing will cause it to under perform.
Honestly what difference would it have made? Maybe 2 million more? Michael was in no shape to promote this album.
I didn't say it wasn't a hit. I said it didn't sell more than Eminem & Nelly. You said that Mike's movie will be more successful than Queen's, when stuff he released while alive could not outsell other albums out at the same time. The Beatles hits compilation 1 is one of the biggest selling albums released in the 2000s and sold more than Invincible (and HIStory too). 1 also sold just a little less than Dangerous. 1 had no new material or unreleased songs on it, it is all previously released songs.
Thriller was legitimately too good, and people simply just bought Thriller over and over again instead of his new material. It was unironically his curse
A lot of artists have an album that continue to sell more than their others like Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon. The Beatles records still sell more (and get more Youtube views) than any of Paul & Ringo's new albums. Pretty much all artists eventually fade away from mainstream popularity. Some like U2 & The Rolling Stones are still popular with touring, but they long stopped getting Top 40 radio airplay for new songs. Younger people don't want to hear an 80 year old man (Mick Jagger) next to Drake & Megan Thee Stallion.
RIAA has certified MJ’s records from 2012-2022, which was equal to 83.85M more sales. He has 10 million sales in Brazil that aren't certified and people went to Sony directly and asked about it, and they said they won't do it. Legitmately all his figures are outdated from the 90s and early 00s.
They say Invincible cost 30 million USD to make. Very excessive for the results.
When you add up all of the figures from Chartmasters, MJ has sold 462,000,000 & The Beatles have sold 534,000,000. However MJ is behind in terms of certifications by 100 million (low-ball figure), which Sony is aware of and has denied to request a certification. Which puts his actual total up to 562,000,000, making him the best selling artist worldwide, this figure rises to 600+ million with Jackson 5
Yes, it is close by now. I can imagine them surpassing him, explicitly in the digital age.
Okay so directly from the fans who were tracking and sent requests to the companies for Certifications, here's how many Michael Jackson is missing. Turns out i massively undersold how many was missing, it's 56 million in the United States and over 100 million worldwide that he's behind on.
