“Michael” star Jaafar Jackson opens up about family responsibility, his grandmother’s reaction and why playing his uncle changed him.

The Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” is projected to pass the half-billion-dollar mark at the worldwide box office this weekend.

In spite of a lukewarm reception from critics, the biopic “Michael” has reignited Michael Jackson fans’ imaginations. It’s dominated the box office over the last two weeks, taking in more than $430 million worldwide en route to becoming the highest-grossing music biopic ever.

Michael' director Antoine Fuqua talks about the challenges in making the Michael Jackson biopic, the reshoots and an upcoming sequel.

Michael Jackson triples up inside the top 10 on the U.K.'s Official Albums chart — a rare feat — as Michael debuts and Thriller and Number Ones return to the region.

From the moves to the voice, to the way he connects with fans, one world-renowned Atlanta performer is honoring the influence of Michael Jackson.

Of the 10 studio albums Michael Jackson released as a solo artist, only a small number are pretty much perfect, including Off the Wall and Thriller.

For the week of April 25–May 1, 2026, “Michael” leads overall at 4.38% of mentions, climbing week over week following its April 24 theatrical release. “The Devil Wears Prada 2” (3.68%) slips slightly from last week’s top position leading up to its release on May 1, though it remains firmly in the conversation.

An aspect I brought up earlier about the movie, Michael, is that Janet Jackson is nowhere to be seen, and again, that’s fine. It is Michael’s movie after all, and not Janet’s. That said, the two siblings ostensibly had a pretty close relationship, and I’m just wondering if, if we ever got a biopic for Janet, would we see Michael in it?
