How much did Michael earn from IMAX screens during its worldwide opening?
Answer
$24.4 million
Michael earned $24.4 million from IMAX screens during its worldwide opening.
The IMAX total formed part of the film’s reported worldwide opening performance. Michael debuted strongly in both domestic and international markets, and the IMAX contribution was described as the biggest opening number for a musical biographical film in that format.
IMAX presentations use specialized screens and sound systems designed to create a larger-scale theatrical experience. That format is especially suited to a music biopic with concert performances, choreography, and large visual sequences. The IMAX figure measures money earned from those screenings, not the total number of IMAX tickets sold.
The $24.4 million figure should also be distinguished from Michael’s full worldwide opening of $217.4 million. One is a format-specific result, while the other combines all reported theatrical formats across the opening period.
