Michael has made a staggering $703 million internationally, putting the showstopper back in first place at both the domestic and global box office—with $282 million and $421 million respectively—just four weeks into its release. It’s close to overtaking Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing musical biopic of all time, which made $911 million during its 2018 run. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is also still going strong, after two weekends in the top spot, having earned $550 million internationally just three weeks into its release, a figure that far exceeds its $100 million production budget. It’s performed incredibly well with international audiences, who have contributed $370.3 million of its revenue. The hugely popular sequel made $50.6 million this week. Mortal Kombat II made $10 million this weekend, bringing its total to $101 million domestically and internationally combined, compared to its $80 million production budget.
