Michael OTT release is anticipated by mid-June 2026, following the film's extraordinary theatrical success. The Michael Jackson biopic has shattered box office records, earning $577 million worldwide and claiming the fourth highest-grossing film position of 2026.
The film delivered a record-breaking $97 million domestic opening and $217 million worldwide across its first weekend. By its third weekend, Michael crossed the $500 million milestone faster than any music biopic in history, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody's North American record. Despite receiving poor critical reviews, fans propelled the King of Pop's story to become the fifth highest-grossing biographical film of all time.
Industry sources suggest the Michael OTT release will follow a staggered pattern. Premium video-on-demand platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home may offer rental or purchase options by mid-June 2026. The subscription streaming debut is expected first on Starz around August-September 2026, before transitioning to Prime Video later.
