AND THIS TIME… THE ANSWER DIDN’T COME FROM THE CRITICS. IT CAME FROM THE HEARTS OF THE PEOPLE WHO LOVED HIM‼️—

“Take a moment and really think about this, because what just happened is no longer a story about a film. It’s a direct collision between two worlds—on one side, the cold numbers of critics, and on the other, the real emotions of millions of people for Michael Jackson. The Michael film received a 38% critic score—a number that, in the film industry, almost signals failure. A dead end before anything even begins. And yet, in a single weekend… the world walked into theaters and left behind $217 million. That’s roughly 14.5 million people who stood up, left their homes, bought tickets, and decided they wanted to feel this story in their own way.

And that’s when you begin to understand what the critics completely missed. They walked into the theater to evaluate a film. The audience walked in to relive a part of their own lives. They didn’t carry checklists for screenplay structure or pacing. They carried memories. They carried “Billie Jean” playing at family gatherings. The first time they saw the moonwalk and couldn’t believe their eyes. The sound of his voice at a moment in their lives they could never forget. And when those melodies filled the theater, they weren’t watching a movie anymore… they were facing their own emotions. And you can’t rate emotion with a percentage.

The film may not be perfect. There may be flaws the critics are right to point out. But they made a far greater mistake than any of that—they forgot this isn’t fiction. This is the story of a man who has lived in the memory of billions. And the audience doesn’t need a perfect film. They just need something real enough… for the music to do the rest. And Michael Jackson’s music has always done exactly that. It reaches something no rating system can measure. That’s why people stand up and dance in theaters. Why they fall silent when the film ends. Why they go home and play his music immediately. Because they didn’t just watch a movie…

They experienced a feeling… a memory… a connection they thought had been gone for years… And that’s something 38% can’t understand, can’t touch… and certainly can’t stop ! 38% is a score… $217 million… is the answer !
