@rogers_jamieThe upcoming Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" is off to a strong start at the Japanese box office. It earned an estimated $2.3 million on its opening Friday, including $653,000 from limited previews over the previous weekend. That debut more than doubles the opening day of "Bohemian Rhapsody" in Japan. The film, starring Jaafar Jackson as the King of Pop, is projected to track toward a $1 billion global run.
