From Oct. 24 through Halloween night, Cirque du Soleil’s Michael Jackson ONE at Mandalay Bay will host its first Thrillerween, an eight-day celebration encouraging audiences to arrive dressed as zombies, ghouls, monsters, or the King of Pop himself.

The biographical film Michael, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jackson’s nephew Jaafar Jackson, has made over $1 billion worldwide. It is now the highest-grossing biopic and music biopic ever and the biggest film in Lionsgate’s history. The movie opened in late April with $97 million in the U.S. and $217 million worldwide, making it the largest global debut for a musical biopic.

The Michael Jackson biopic Michael has become the highest-grossing biographical film in history, surpassing Oppenheimer after earning $977.4 million worldwide.

Michael Jackson fans got the last laugh at critics who panned the exceptional biopic about the late King of Pop as they flooded theaters across the globe, many wearing their idol's trademark white and sequined glove, fedora hats, black pants, and white socks.

From its opening moments, driven by “Wanna Be Startin’ Something,” the film “doesn’t build slowly; it drops you right into it,” placing viewers inside the sound, rhythm, and energy that once powered Jackson’s tours and made him a worldwide phenomenon.
