Box Office Mojo - U.S. Domestic Box Office: Weekend 16
It looks like Project Hail Mary will definitely at least break even.
I don’t think The Super Mario Galaxy Movie is going to make it to $1B - could it reach $900M?
For reference, The Super Mario Bros. Movie made $1.36B in 2023.
Notable opening next week: Apex (Netflix), Desert Warrior, Over Your Dead Body, and Michael.

Desert Warrior looks interesting. Captain America and Trevor in the same movie?! Okay I’m in!

At my other favorite site (about basketball) one of the posters eat, drinks, lives movies. In fact he earns his living as a location scout and celebrated his film winning best picture last March. He left this post about this movie which has piqued my interest:
Don't watch the trailer. Don't read anything on it. See it blind. One of my top films I've seen of the year: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/exit_8_2025

Meanwhile, the critics are beginning to come out……
Michael - Rotten Tomatoes
Michael - Metacritic
WELP.
This film is probably not nearly at the level of Elvis (2022). Or even Bohemian Rhapsody (2018). 
Michael - Rotten Tomatoes

It’s official: We’re getting a “Miami Vice ‘85” next year. Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick, F1) will be directing and Austin Butler and Michael B. Jordan will be starring in the film. And they’ll be filming with IMAX cameras. Because why not?

I saw Michael today - and I'm seeing that the difference between the critics and "normies" reviews are huge at Rotten Tomatoes. Did I like it THAT much? EH, not quite. Because we are still in its opening weekend, I will put my review in spoiler.
Do you love musical biopics? Are you a Michael Jackson fan? Then you will like this film. If your feelings about Michael Jackson are negative from the later controversial/unusual stuff, then you'll probably want to skip this.

I overall give Michael a 7.4/10. This film covers the Michael Jackson's story from The Jackson Five in the late 1960s to him becoming a solo artist to the Bad album in 1987.
What's good:
1) Jaafar Jackson did a superb job of showing and performing as his uncle. It looks like Jaafar did actually sing during the filming but Michael's voice is definitely dubbed in for the final product.
2) Coleman Domingo is probably the only actor who could portray Joseph Jackson and how villainous he was towards what Michael really wanted in his music career.
3) If you were a huge fan of Michael Jackson's music in the late 1970s to early 1990s, the film did a pretty good job of connecting to those feelings from that music.
4) I watched this film in Dolby format at my local AMC. I highly recommend it - especially if you want to enjoy the music part of this film.
What's MEH/bad:
1) Let's be honest: This probably always would have been an awkward story to show in a film.
2) So......Joseph Jackson was horrifically abusive. But the film only showed Michael's reactions to him as only being either sad or scared. Really? He was never angry?
3) So.....we are getting another film? That's what the final card showed.
4) Bubbles.
There's a bit too much about Bubbles. If they were going to include the animals, I would have liked to seen more of the giraffe 
and the llama 
.
5) I think the film tried to blatantly show you A LOT about how Michael became what many people later considered as odd (His childlike demeanor, the plastic surgeries). I will admit that the connections shown got awkward to watch.
6) There's WAY too many references to Michael to being a life long fan of Peter Pan and the Neverland story.
7) There's a surprising amount of LaToya in this film. But no Janet? Really? I thought Michael and Janet were really close.
