Be it the box office or digital, MICHAEL is a bonafide success. Officially arriving on premium digital platforms on June 9, the hit film has begun generating renewed attention online as fans who haven’t seen it in theaters yet now have the chance to experience one of 2026’s biggest releases. The latest accomplishment? As per FlixPatrol, the movie is currently the #1 film on both the Apple TV store and Amazon Prime Video. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson as his famous uncle, MICHAEL has officially surpassed the $903 million mark, surpassing Bohemian Rhapsody’s initial run in theaters (it was given a second theater run that led to its final $911 million total).

Now Available to Watch at Home

Fans can now purchase or rent Michael through major premium video-on-demand platforms, including digital storefronts such as Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home. The digital release includes purchase options as well as rental access for viewers who want to revisit the story of the King of Pop from home. 

Why the Digital Release Matters

With renewed social media discussion, strong fan interest, and growing curiosity from viewers who skipped its theatrical run, the film’s digital rollout could extend its cultural footprint well into the summer. 

What’s Next

Japan officially opens on June 12, and while the film will remain in theaters as it hits VOD, Lionsgate has confirmed the movie is set to arrive on premium video-on-demand platforms on June 9. From there, Lionsgate will follow up the streaming debut with a premium physical rollout on July 14 (according to the Blu Ray website), introducing an array of Collector’s Edition 4K UHD Steelbooks at retail giants like Walmart and Amazon.
