Michael Jackson Biopic Opens Strong
Lionsgate’s musical biopic has set a new record for the genre in most overseas territories, despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.
The film sidesteps much of the controversy surrounding Jackson’s personal life, focusing instead on his early stardom and musical genius.
Prince Jackson, the singer’s son, described seeing his cousin in the role as an 'emotional shock.' A potential sequel is already being discussed, which the studio says could explore the more difficult allegations that the first film avoided.
