Lionsgate's Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" has surged in trader consensus toward a robust domestic opening weekend above $75 million, fueled by three-week tracking released April 2 showing presales exceeding expectations for a record-breaking musical biopic debut—potentially topping Bohemian Rhapsody's $51 million and Straight Outta Compton's $60 million starts. Strong advance ticket sales for early fan screenings on April 22, combined with Jaafar Jackson's uncanny portrayal and the trailer's record views, have lifted implied probabilities for the 75-80m (42.5%) and >80m (41.5%) brackets into a dead heat, while lower ranges lag amid competition from Super Mario Galaxy and Project Hail Mary. Recent $15 million reshoots to refine the narrative add polish, but final walkups, exhibitor word-of-mouth, and review embargo lifts before the April 24 bow will decide if it eclipses $80 million.
