Michael Jackson’s biopic drama is performing well at the Indian box office. The movie added Rs. 3.10 crore to the tally on its Day 7, closing the first week around Rs. 31.35 crore, including paid previews. The musical biopic, headlined by Jaafar Jackson, is expected to see a spike on the second weekend.
Based on the current trends, Michael will cross the Rs. 35 crore gross in its second weekend and then will head towards the Rs. 40 crore mark. It has a shot at hitting over Rs. 60 crore gross by the end of its theatrical run. The movie is on the verge of bagging a Clean Hit venture in India. It will be the third Hollywood Hit film in India, after Project Hail Mary and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the biographical drama is performing best in South India and Mumbai, where Michael Jackson was most popular. Jackson was also a dance icon, and it is probably his dance that was more popular in India than his music, but as it turns out, even dance films have traditionally worked in Mumbai and the South, while underperforming in the North.
