Here's to another successful whitewashing campaign! 🥂

It made a billion dollars and this is literally the first time I'm even hearing of this movie's existence.

"Michael" is now the second film of 2026 to gross $1 billion, after "The Super Mario Galaxy Movie". "Toy Story 5" will likely be the third!

Now normalize that number for inflation...

Still one billion, it's the old films you need to adjust for inflation.

Tickets sold would be a much more interesting metric to me.
