The movie is directed by Antoine Fuqua and shows Michael Jackson’s journey from his early life up to 1988.

It has also been doing well at the box office, with early reports suggesting it could beat the record set by Straight Outta Compton for a music biopic opening.

There is also talk that a sequel could be made if the film continues to perform well around the world.
