    was there ever any doubt about this? i'm surprised people are surprised. it's literally michael jackson man lmao

    literally should be the biggest film ever with his talent and if it had been done properly if this s*** was released in 1992 directed by spike lee or scorsese instead of The Jacksons: An American Dream it would have been invincible alas we never got it at his peak before the allegations came out with mj's involvement and marketing s*** wouldve been biggest film off all time in the cinema for like a year critically acclaimed and beloved by all michael fans instead we got a film that while some people love its nowhere near the masterpiece we could've got the masterpiece his music and artistry deserves en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_in_film interesting looking at what got released that year an mj film wouldve fit in perfectly nothing wouldve been competition or stepped on it whereas 1993 jurrassic park came out n allegations were public looking back very interesting time

    Eh. As soon I saw Fuqua was named the director I knew this was never was going to reach its potential.

    Oh it’s 100% not a good movie (though a fun one) and Fuqua is absolutely a hack but audiences have never cared about whether or not a movie is good. They’re sheep who flock to something simply for the IP and when the IP is MJ, this should’ve easily made a billion if not 2 b

    It was never reaching 2 billion in today's climate especially with the April release date and competition, losing IMAX so frequently and then the 45 day PVOD.

    Not to mention the lack of things like sing along screenings and arguably poor promo too.

    Wonder what the original November release would've done for it.

    Fuquas original vision of the film is a total opposite to the one we got, in fairness.

    The Estate's ineptitude caused a total rewrite and then Diana Ross didn't want to be featured which caused a second one.

    Was there any doubt?

  • Shooa

    Was there any doubt?

    Filmbros and the Reddit type crowds tried to say there's not much demand for MJ projects yeah

    But no, not much doubt in the real world
