New Michael Jackson biopic details

Lionsgate's 'Michael' has made a powerful debut in overseas markets, setting opening day records for a musical biopic in several territories.

The film features Jaafar Jackson in a breakout performance as his uncle, with filmmakers using a blend of both actors' voices for the musical numbers.

Despite its commercial success, the movie is facing a critical backlash, currently holding a 34% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as reviewers question its sanitized portrayal of Jackson's life.

A potential sequel is already being discussed, with some reports suggesting it could finally address the more difficult aspects of the singer's legacy.
