Following its record-shattering $97 million domestic opening weekend—the largest ever for a musical biopic—"Michael" has shown impressive early legs with a $7.7 million Monday and $11.1 million Tuesday, the fourth-best April Tuesday for a live-action film, buoyed by an A- CinemaScore and audience enthusiasm for high-energy concert sequences despite a dismal 38% Rotten Tomatoes score. Trader consensus clusters around a 45-55% sophomore frame drop to $45-55 million, pitting 50-55m (36.5%) against >55m (35%) and 45-50m (31.5%), as strong word-of-mouth and IMAX premium holdover appeal battle new competition from Disney's female-led tentpole. A Bohemian Rhapsody-like sub-50% drop could push toward $55 million-plus, with Sunday estimates as the key swing factor.
