Michael Biopic Grosses Rs 51.80 Crore at Indian Box Office in 14 Days

The biographical drama 'Michael', featuring Jaafar Jackson, has achieved a collection of Rs. 51.80 crore at the Indian box office over its initial 14-day theatrical run. The film's second week saw it add Rs. 20.55 crore to its cumulative gross, marking a 30 percent decrease in earnings compared to its first week.

During its second week, the daily collections for 'Michael' were as follows: Rs. 4.00 crore on the second Friday, Rs. 4.50 crore on the second Saturday, Rs. 5.00 crore on the second Sunday, Rs. 1.75 crore on the second Monday, Rs. 2.00 crore on the second Tuesday, Rs. 1.75 crore on the second Wednesday, and Rs. 1.55 crore on the second Thursday. Its first week had grossed Rs. 31.25 crore.

Based on current trends, the musical biopic is anticipated to approach the Rs. 60 crore gross mark by the end of its third weekend. The film's entire box office run in India is expected to conclude around Rs. 75 crore gross. This performance establishes a new benchmark for musical Hollywood films in India, surpassing previous top performers such as 'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' which garnered around Rs. 13 crore, and 'Bohemian Rhapsody' which collected approximately Rs. 7 crore in 2018.

'Michael' has been classified as a 'HIT' film, making it the third Hollywood 'HIT' in India this year, alongside 'Project Hail Mary' and 'Lee Cronin’s The Mummy', all released within a short period. Another recent release, 'The Devil Wears Prada 2', is also reported to be performing well. These successes are notable as they deviate from the conventional template of IP-driven Hollywood hits typically seen in the Indian market.

According to Pinkvilla, the box office figures presented are compiled from various sources and research, and while approximate, are indicative of the films' performance.
