The international premiere of "Michael," a biopic about Michael Jackson, took place in Berlin with members of the Jackson family including Bigi Jackson, Prince Jackson, Jackie Jackson, Jermaine Jackson, and Marlon Jackson. The film, directed by Antoine Fuqua, follows the rise of Jackson from lead singer of the Motown group Jackson 5 to solo success. Jaafar Jackson, who was 12 when his uncle died in 2009, said he immersed himself in archives of footage to prepare for the role and drew on his own memories while Jackie Jackson said the portrayal of Jackson was so convincing that he forgot he was watching him. The movie, set to open on April 24, is predicted to gross over $80 million, surpassing the $60.2 million opening for a musical biopic for 2015 film "Straight Outta Compton".
