Michael crosses the $1 billion milestone worldwide

According to Box Office Mojo‘s report, Michael has collected $371.9 million at the North American box office so far. Internationally, it is still holding good and has hit the $629.8 million cume so far. Therefore, the movie’s worldwide box office is $1 billion.
Worldwide collection breakdown
- Domestic – $371.9 million

Michael is inches away from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the sequel to The Super Mario Bros Movie. It collected $1 billion at the worldwide box office in its glorious run. The film is still running on some screens, but not for long. According to reports, Michael is about $8 million short of surpassing the global haul of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
For the unversed, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is the highest-grossing film of the year worldwide. The King of Pop’s biopic will eventually beat the Nintendo sequel worldwide and become the year’s highest-grossing film. However, it still depends on how it holds in Japan and Russia. Michael was released on April 24 and is 2026’s highest-grossing live-action movie.
