Michael Jackson biopic tops China's box office

"This film feels like a brief history of Michael. Some of the stories fans expected aren't included, but it still sparks nostalgia for older audiences and introduces a new generation to the 'King of Pop'," said Keen Zhang, president of the Michael Jackson Chinese Fan Club.

"Though we can't travel back to those glory days, as one of the most influential figures in global pop culture, Michael's timeless legacy will continue to serve as the soundtrack of our lives and resonate with more people. IMAX offers a window across time, bringing us closer to the artist both on and off the stage," he added.
