Edges closer to the $370 million mark at the North American box office

It is less than $10 million away from hitting the $370 million mark at the North American box office.
Inches away from surpassing the domestic haul of The Jungle Book
According to Box Office Mojo, Michael is inches away from surpassing the domestic haul of The Jungle Book. It is the live-action animated remake of Walt Disney’s classic animation of the same name. Directed by Jon Favreau, the movie was a critical and commercial success. The Jungle Book is reportedly one of the most expensive readaptations to date. It even won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
Jon Favreau helmed The Jungle Book collected $364 million at the North American box office in its lifetime. It is also the all-time #70 highest-grossing movie at the North American box office. Michael was less than $1 million away from beating The Jungle Book domestically on Monday. But it is expected to have surpassed the Disney blockbuster on Tuesday. With that, Michael will break into the all-time top 70 grossers in North America.
