Billboard compiled a list of some of the biggest Hollywood films that tackled the stories of some of the biggest music legends. The list includes hits like 1997's Selena, focusing on the Tejano music star, to Austin Butler's portrayal of Elvis Presley in the 2022 film Elvis. Michael was added to the list since its release on April 24, 2026, but only ranks at No. 2 as the highest-grossing film. It's made $424.8 million to date.
The movie took almost eight years to develop, as it was announced in 2010 with Sacha Baron Cohen originally attached to play the leading role. Cohen left the project in 2013 due to creative differences, with Malik taking on the role. Bohemian Rhapsody also faced turmoil when Singer was fired due to repeated absences and clashes with the crew. Dexter Fletcher came on as its new director, with Singer still retaining the main credit as the film's director.
Bohemian Rhapsody took theaters by storm, cataloging the formation of the British rock band in 1970, all the way to their infamous Live Aid performance at Wembley Stadium in 1985. The film depicted every moment of Mercury's rise to stardom, the creation of their biggest hits, Mercury's marriage, LGBTQ status, and his diagnosis of AIDS.
Bohemian Rhapsody won four Oscars in 2019, with Malik for Best Actor, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing. It was nominated for Best Picture but lost to Green Book, and won Best Motion Picture Drama at the Golden Globes. Malik again won in the Best Actor category at the Golden Globe Awards, the SAG Awards, and at the BAFTAs.
