Jaafar Jackson’s Michael still has plenty of rhythm left in its India run. The Antoine Fuqua-directed musical biopic posted a sharp 50 per cent jump on its fourth Saturday, collecting Rs. 1.90 crore gross after earning Rs. 0.90 crore on Friday. That push has taken the film’s total India gross to Rs. 67.50 crore, bringing the Rs. 70 crore mark firmly into sight.
For a Hollywood title in its fourth weekend, that kind of surge is no small feat. Michael has managed to sustain audience interest well beyond its opening frame, and its latest weekend trend underlines just how strongly it has connected with Indian moviegoers. The film is now tracking toward a Rs. 4 crore to Rs. 5 crore fourth weekend, a result that would tighten its grip on one of the year’s strongest Hollywood runs in the market.
Michael Strengthens Its Box Office Position In India
The numbers show a remarkably steady theatrical journey. Michael grossed Rs. 31.25 crore in week one, followed by Rs. 20.50 crore in week two and Rs. 13 crore in week three. It then added Rs. 0.90 crore on fourth Friday before climbing to Rs. 1.90 crore on fourth Saturday, taking the cumulative India total to Rs. 67.55 crore gross.

That performance has already made Michael the second highest grossing Hollywood film of 2026 in India, behind Project Hail Mary. It has also emerged as the third Hollywood hit of the year in the territory after Project Hail Mary and The Mummy. What makes this run even more notable is that these titles are not driven by the kind of major franchise brand that typically dominates Hollywood business in India.
At its current pace, Michael is eyeing a full theatrical finish of around Rs. 80 crore gross in India, which would further cement its position as one of the standout imported performers of 2026.
