Michael
Synopsis
The upcoming sequel to the Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' has intensified the ongoing debate between fans and critics. The Lionsgate film, directed by Antoine Fuqua, has been a box office success, grossing over $423 million globally. However, it holds a stark contrast in reception, with a 97% fan approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes but only a 38% critical score. The film, which ends in 1988 due to legal issues, has drawn criticism for its portrayal of Jackson's life, including sensitive topics like child abuse allegations. Fans have expressed frustration with critics, arguing that the film's narrative was altered and that its reception is unfairly compared to other music biopics like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Rocketman'.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 28
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
