'Michael,' the biographical drama about the King of Pop, starring Jaafar Jackson, is performing strongly at the Indian box office. On its third Saturday, the film grossed ₹3.50 crore, reflecting a 50% increase compared to its third Friday. This brings its total earnings in India to ₹57 crore. The film is expected to close its third weekend near the ₹60 crore mark, with projections of adding another ₹9 crore over the weekend. The film's total gross for the third week is anticipated to reach nearly ₹65 crore. Notably, 'Michael' has emerged as Hollywood's third hit in India this year, alongside 'Project Hail Mary' and 'The Mummy,' all released within a month. This trend suggests a shift in Indian audiences' preferences, as they respond positively to a broader variety of Hollywood films beyond traditional blockbusters. With more major Hollywood titles set to release later this year, 2026 could be a pivotal year for non-franchise films in the Indian market.
