The Michael Jackson biopic Michael has become the highest-grossing music biopic of all time, overtaking Bohemian Rhapsody at the global box office, according to People.

The film has earned USD 911.9 million worldwide since its theatrical release on April 24, surpassing the lifetime global total of Bohemian Rhapsody, which earned USD 910.9 million. Michael had earlier moved past the Elvis Presley biopic Elvis before overtaking the Freddie Mercury-based Bohemian Rhapsody to claim the top spot among music biopics.

The film has also become the highest-grossing biopic ever at the domestic box office, marking another milestone for producer Graham King, who also backed the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody. With its theatrical run still underway, Michael is now closing in on the USD 1 billion mark worldwide, further cementing its box-office success.
