- Michael earned $11.1 million on Tuesday, making it the fourth‑largest April Tuesday ever for a live‑action film.
- Michael ranks sixth among all April Tuesdays, behind The Super Mario Bros Movie ($15.4 M) and Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($14.7 M).
- Michael has a cumulative domestic gross of $116 million through Tuesday.
- Michael is on track to surpass Lionsgate’s The Housemaid ($126.4 M) by Friday and potentially outgross The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes ($166.3 M) and John Wick: Chapter 4 ($187.1 M) by Sunday, becoming the studio’s highest‑grossing post‑COVID domestic release.
- Michael was directed by Antoine Fuqua.
Why it matters: Lionsgate gains a new domestic box‑office champion, boosting its post‑COVID revenue profile while its earlier hits lose the top spot; the film’s strong Tuesday and cumulative totals reflect robust audience demand for mid‑budget action releases and reinforce Lionsgate’s strategy of investing in mid‑range genre titles.
