The biographical drama Michael has officially crossed the $500 million mark at the global box office this Friday, marking a major commercial milestone despite receiving mixed responses from audiences and critics.

The film opened to massive hype worldwide, backed by strong advance bookings and huge anticipation among fans of Michael Jackson. During its initial run, many trade analysts even predicted that the movie could potentially enter the prestigious $1 billion club.

However, the film’s momentum has slowed noticeably over the past few weeks. While it continues to attract fans and moviegoers in several markets, the overall reception has turned out to be more divided than expected.

Critics and audiences have pointed out issues related to the screenplay, pacing, and emotional depth, which appear to have affected the film’s long-term theatrical performance. As a result, box-office growth has become steadier rather than explosive.

Trade experts now believe that reaching the $1 billion milestone may be difficult unless the film experiences a strong resurgence in international territories during the coming weeks.

Even so, crossing the $500 million mark remains a significant achievement and highlights the massive global interest surrounding Michael Jackson’s life and legacy. The makers are expected to celebrate the milestone soon while industry trackers continue monitoring the film’s worldwide run closely.
