The teaser for the Michael Jackson biopic film has finally been released, and it is immediately doing massive numbers. 

The film will follow Michael's rise to worldwide superstardom from his childhood days in Motown with his brothers as the Jackson 5 to his partnership with Quincy Jones that led to Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad - The middle of which remains the greatest selling album of all-time to this very day. It will also cover the aspects of his professional and personal life during his rise to the global icon he became in the 1980s ranging from his purchase of the Sony/ATV catalogue containing almost all of the Beatles' music, his diagnosis with vitaligo and Lupus, the growing rumors, tabloids, and controversies around that time, and how he had to deal with it, etc. 

In just one day, the official teaser has already received more likes than the Elvis trailer and is fast approaching the teaser and official trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody. It has also surpassed Taylor Swift's "The Era's Tour" for Lionsgate' most viewed trailer launch ever. And with a total of 116.2 million global views in 24 hours, it is the highest debut for any music biopic trailer. Early signs point to this film passing Bohemian Rhapsody and becoming the first music biopic to make $1 billion at the box office.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest considering - It's Michael Jackson.

Have you seen the trailer? Any thoughts on it? Do you plan to see the film?
