The initial trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, directed by Antoine Fuqua, is already a huge success, despite not being released in theaters until next April. Lionsgate released the preview last week, giving fans their first real glimpse of the film, which stars Michael’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, as the iconic singer. The trailer quickly broke streaming records within its first day, proving that there’s a lot of excitement for the long-awaited project.
The trailer for Michael broke records, gaining 116.2 million views worldwide in its first 24 hours, according to data from WaveMetrix reported by Screen Rant. This makes it the most-viewed trailer ever for a musical biopic or concert film. It outperformed the first-day view count of the Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour trailer (96.1 million views), as well as trailers for Bob Marley: One Love (60.1 million views), Bohemian Rhapsody (57.6 million views), and A Complete Unknown (47.2 million views).
The trailer for Michael had a record-breaking debut for Lionsgate, which is notable given the studio’s success with franchises like John Wick, Now You See Me, and The Hunger Games. It quickly gained over 30 million views worldwide in its first six hours – that’s 50% more than the first six hours for John Wick: Chapter 4, which ultimately earned $447 million globally. This strong initial response suggests Michael could be a hit with audiences when it’s released in theaters.
