Michael Jackson biopic breaks records

Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson, the film has dominated the box office despite ongoing controversies regarding the singer's legacy.

In the UK and Ireland, it debuted with £11.6 million, nearly doubling the previous record held by 'Bohemian Rhapsody'.

The production focuses on Jackson's rise to fame up until 1988, stopping before the first public allegations of misconduct emerged.

Cinema-goers have reported a new trend of moonwalking in the aisles, which has drawn mixed reactions from audiences.
