That film, of course, is Bohemian Rhapsody, which currently holds the all-time box office record as the highest grossing music biopic of all time with a worldwide box office tally of $911 million. In addition to owning the box office crown in the music biopic category, Bohemian Rhapsody won four Oscars at the 2019 Academy Awards, including Best Actor for Rami Malek. The film also earned a Best Picture nomination for producer Graham King, who also is the producer of Michael.Forbes‘Michael’ Isn’t Only 2026 Blockbuster Ripped By Critics That Fans LoveBy Tim Lammers

Now, six years after the film’s triumph at the global box office and the Oscars, Michael is not only steadily approaching Bohemian Rhapsody’s record box office take, the actor who plays Michael Jackson — his nephew Jaafar — is arguably already a contender for a Best Actor Oscar.

While Michael has been playing in theaters since April 24, fans will finally get an opportunity to see the film at home as it arrives on digital streaming via premium video on demand on Tuesday, June 9.

The film’s studio, Lionsgate, recently announced that Michael will be available for purchase on PVOD for $24.99 on such platforms as Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Prime Video and YouTube Movies & TV.Forbes‘Michael 2’: Studio Is Hoping To Make A Michael Jackson Biopic SequelBy Tim Lammers

Since digital rentals typically are $5 less than purchase prices on PVOD, viewers should be able to rent the film for a 48-hour period for $19.99.

Michael begins with the 10-year-old singer (Juliano Valde) and his rise to stardom with his brothers in the Jackson 5 and chronicles his quest to become the King of Pop in adulthood (Jaafar Jackson) through the release of his multiplatinum albums Off the Wall, Thriller and Bad. Michael ends in 1988 as the music legend embarks on his Bad concert tour.
