Michael Jackson Biopic Premieres

Lionsgate's 'Michael' is set for a massive global opening this weekend, with projections reaching $150 million.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, the film covers Michael Jackson's rise from the Jackson 5 to his solo superstardom.

The premiere was a star-studded family affair, attended by the singer's children and siblings.

However, the production has faced backlash for reportedly omitting or sanitizing allegations of child sexual abuse, focusing instead on a narrative of artistic triumph.
