@_SubtlePower @AnishA_Moonka Its more than likely to be called Jackson.
English

Michael Jackson was $500 million in debt when he died. His estate has since earned $3.5 billion. This $155 million movie is the latest bet from the most profitable dead-celebrity business operation in entertainment history.
The estate's executors, attorneys John Branca and John McClain, turned 65+ creditor claims and half a billion in unpaid debt into a $2 billion enterprise. The film's producer, Graham King, made Bohemian Rhapsody on a $52 million budget, and it went on to gross $903 million. Same playbook, bigger subject.
The whole empire traces back to one bet. In 1985, Jackson bought the ATV catalog (251 Beatles songs, plus thousands of others) for $47.5 million. Paul McCartney, who'd told Jackson to invest in publishing, couldn't match the bid. In 1995, Jackson sold half to Sony for $95 million. After his death, the estate sold the other half for $750 million in 2016. A $47.5 million purchase returned over $800 million across two sales. Then in 2024, the estate sold half of Jackson's own masters and publishing rights (the royalties artists earn when their songs are played, streamed, or licensed) to Sony for another $600 million.
The biopic is one line item in a much longer receipt. This Is It, a concert documentary, made $267 million. A Cirque du Soleil tour grossed $160 million. The Vegas show Michael Jackson ONE has run 5,000+ performances and is booked through 2030. MJ: The Musical has pulled in around $300 million since opening on Broadway in 2022. Forbes named Jackson the highest-earning deceased celebrity of 2025, with earnings of $105 million in a single year.
The film's trailer hit 116 million views in 24 hours, beating every music biopic trailer in history, including Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, which reached 96 million. Analysts are tracking a $52-65 million opening weekend. Worldwide projections range from $700 million to over $1 billion.
Not everyone in the family is on board. Paris Jackson called an early script "sugar-coated." Katherine Jackson tried to block the $600 million Sony deal in court, arguing it violated her son's wishes. She lost on appeal.
The man who died half a billion dollars in debt now earns more per year than most living artists, and his estate just bet $155 million that his life story will become the biggest music biopic ever made.

Esse era o comercial que você assistia na Rede Globo em 2008: o anúncio do lançamento da coletânea de sucessos de Michael Jackson, chamada King Of Pop - Brazilian Collection. Um fato curioso: o lançamento no Brasil foi o único a levar a bandeira e o "brazilian" na capa.

@Quarktoro1 @AnishA_Moonka See how yall lie and spread false information
English

@AnishA_Moonka Reminder - they are banking on this being a success and will make a sequel (called Jackson)

@_SubtlePower @FitMisterTeeJ Raw iPhone in the gym is wild lol
English

@Jockstrap_ni99a There are women who do. Theres a whole site for women who eat ass lol. And even then he can workout how he chooses its still not indicative to his sexuality.
English

@_SubtlePower The bigger question is.. the women don’t care about no phat booty man, so who are they really showing it for then? Sport clothes are comfortable and flexible enough to where it isn’t that intense needing to be half nude to work out.
English

@onlytakoda You might be right. Side note…drop me the chest routine lol
English

@_SubtlePower Women are in the comments most def but definitely not the majority. And they definitely aren’t responsible for straight men going viral just cause he got a phat ass lol.
English

@safalucian Listen to the ‘Triumph’ album. It’s that sweet spot between OTW and Thriller. He was really in his bag omg. This is fun😩. You know Dangerous is my shit😩. BAD perfection. HIStory = autobiographical and his response to the allegations. Invincible rnb/urban contemp greatness.
English

@_SubtlePower I am definitely an Off The Wall Stan (who isn’t) but ‘Bad’ & ‘Dangerous’ are moving me emotionally. The melodies mixed with his vocals on ‘Dangerous’??? Constantly rewatching the ‘Bad’ tour but after re-discovering This Place I want to explore that era.
