Michael remain not only the King of Pop but the King of the B.O. with .1M, and he won the world over as well with a global fourth frame of .8M. The global running cume for the Graham King produced movie keeps making a run at his previous 4x Oscar winning hit, Bohemian Rhapsody with Michael now at 3.9M. 20th Century Studio’s Devil Wears Prada 2 came in lighter with M U.S. third weekend, likely losing women to Focus Features/Blumhouse’ romance horror Obsession which came in much higher with a great .1M opening.

Overall weekend is estimated to be at $106.1M, which is just -1% off from a year ago. Very good. The summer box office will take it.
