“Dream it. See it. Believe it. Make it happen” was one the late Michael Jackson’s favorite expressions. It’s certainly one that would resonate with the King of Pop were he around for the opening of Antoine Fuqua’s long-awaited biopic of Jackson in theaters across the globe this weekend.
Michael soared to a huge $12.6 million in Wednesday and Thursday previews, putting it on course to open to $70 million-plus domestically, the top start ever for a music biopic. The preview number includes $3.8 million from special Imax and other PLF sneaks Wednesday night.
