Bohemian Rhapsody: Freddie Mercury Queen biopic has its all-time record smashed

The record previously held by the Freddie Mercury-centric biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, has been surpassed.

Despite receiving mixed reviews in 2018, Bohemian Rhapsody soared in box offices worldwide.

It not only clinched the Best Picture award at the Golden Globes but also outpaced other films in Oscar wins at the 2019 Academy Awards, with Rami Malek earning a Best Actor award for his portrayal of Freddie Mercury.

With global earnings of $910.8 million, it held the title for the most lucrative biopic ever.

Yet, this benchmark has recently been overtaken by another cinematic sensation.

As reported by Deadline, this weekend saw Oppenheimer’s earnings touch $912 million.

This Christopher Nolan masterpiece has now earned the title of the top-earning biopic in history. The achievement is particularly noteworthy considering it’s a three-hour, R-rated drama (15 in the UK)

The Freddie Mercury Queen biopic, Bohemian Rhapsody, once held the title of the highest-grossing biopic in cinematic history. Despite lukewarm critical reception in 2018, the film defied expectations, captivating audiences worldwide and earning accolades like Best Picture at the Golden Globes. Its triumphant journey culminated in a remarkable Oscar haul at the 2019 Academy Awards, including a Best Actor win for Rami Malek in the role of Freddie Mercury. Bohemian Rhapsody raked in an astounding $910.8 million globally.

However, this record has now been eclipsed by a new cinematic titan. According to Deadline, Christopher Nolan’s epic, Oppenheimer, surged to a remarkable $912 million at the box office over the weekend. This astounding feat establishes Oppenheimer as the new reigning champion of the biopic genre’s highest-grossing films, a particularly impressive accomplishment considering its three-hour runtime and R-rated (15 in the UK) dramatic content.
