Share Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Pinterest Bluesky Threads Note, Bohemian Rhapsody released first in the UK only, so it is more fair to compare to its next week total of $472M. Michael locked for $900M+ by traumakit
Icy_Smoke_733 on May 17, 2026 3:16 pm Michael’s gonna nuke Oppenheimer’s record for highest grossing biopic of all time ($975m). Its OS holds have been criminally good. 
LouisianaBoySK on May 17, 2026 3:16 pm Looking at the Oppenheimer comparison, I just don’t see how this film doesn’t hit a billion at this point.
Alarmed-Package-9189 on May 17, 2026 3:17 pm Insane that most Hollywood studios passed on this film because it was supposedly too controversial thus unlikely to make money.
Successful_Umpire_14 on May 17, 2026 3:18 pm Looking at this chart, I’m blown away with how Rhapsody legged out over $900 million. Was it just in theatres for the entire year or something ?
WutangOrDie on May 17, 2026 3:19 pm it’s going to hit a billion. i went to see it for the first time last night and the theater was almost sold out. insane
