The Michael Jackson biopic Michael has overtaken Bohemian Rhapsody as the highest-grossing music biopic of all time.
The biopic was released in cinemas on April 24 and has grossed $US911.9 million ($A1.3 billion) worldwide, overtaking the 2018 film about Queen frontman Freddie Mercury, which took $US910.9 million globally, Deadline reports.
The film will be looking to cross $US1 billion in global takings, a feat already reached by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, making the animated sequel the best-performing movie so far this year.
Michael ended amid the King of Pop's Bad tour in 1987, and a second film is in the pipeline with studio Lionsgate confirming they have "25 to 30 per cent" of the project in the bank from the previous shoot.
