King of Pop’s biopic, Michael, is the biggest Hollywood opener in India among musical biopics. According to trade reports, the film earned about Rs. 20 crores gross in its 3-day weekend, higher than Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour and Bohemian Rhapsody.
The first weekend nett is around Rs. 16.5 crores. South Indian circuits contributed the best for the biographical film, with three states amounting to 60% of the collections. On the other hand, the movie was slow in North India, where people give more preference to local music.
The film witnessed a good jump in business on Saturday and Sunday at the domestic box office. It appears that Michael will get a good long run, looking at today’s initial trends.
