Michael Succeeds Big – Now the Media Is Reframing Their Criticism
The Michael Jackson biopic “Michael” just delivered one of the biggest opening weekends ever for a biographical film — $97 million domestic and over $217 million worldwide — despite poor critic reviews.In this video we examine how the entertainment media spent weeks trying to bury the movie, only to watch audiences show up in massive numbers. We break down the critics’ initial attacks, the sudden narrative shift in outlets like Variety and /Film, the real reasons behind the film’s success (crowd-pleaser factor, global popularity, word-of-mouth), and what this latest disconnect between critics and audiences really tells us about Hollywood today.
