Lekki Cinemas Sell Out For Michael Jackson Biopic

Fans flooded cinemas across Lekki, Lagos, on Sunday as the new Michael Jackson biopic drew massive crowds for its portrayal of the music icon’s life.

Nearly all cinemas around Lekki were fully booked for the highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic.

Viewers praised the film for blending music, emotion and storytelling into an engaging experience that held audiences from start to finish.

The biopic traces Michael Jackson’s journey from his early days as a child star to becoming the “King of Pop”.

It highlights defining moments in his career and personal life.

Organisers say a sequel is in the works and could drop as early as December.

Moviegoers described the film as thrilling and emotionally resonant, praising its relatable portrayal of Michael Jackson and its faithful reflection of his artistry.

According to a Bloomberg report published Friday, just as Michael danced its way into theaters, Fuqua and King were initially set to earn $10 million and $6 million, respectively, for directing and producing the biopic about the late Michael Jackson, starring his real-life nephew Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop. King received an additional $10 million, while Fuqua secured an extra $15 million, to complete the reshoots.
