What was Michael’s worldwide box office total?

The story behind the answer

Michael grossed $1.021 billion worldwide.

The 2026 film earned $372.3 million in the United States and Canada and $649.1 million in other territories, producing a worldwide total of $1.021 billion. The result made it the highest-grossing biographical film listed on its Wikipedia article.

Michael also became the first biographical film to reach $1 billion. During its run, it surpassed Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing musical biographical film and Oppenheimer as the highest-grossing biographical film.

The total is different from the film’s opening weekend or its IMAX opening. Michael opened to $97.2 million domestically and earned $24.4 million from IMAX screens during its worldwide opening. Those are separate box-office measurements.
