Bob Marley’s’ One Love Was Ranked The 6th Highest-Grossing Music Biopic In The World

Bob Marley: One Love, the highly anticipated music biopic, is making waves at the worldwide box office as it achieves remarkable success and prepares to reach a significant milestone. Starring Kingsley Ben-Adir as the iconic reggae musician, the film takes audiences on a captivating journey through a turbulent period in Marley's life and Jamaica's political history. With an ensemble cast including Lashana Lynch, James Norton, and Michael Gandolfini, the movie has already achieved a remarkable feat by premiering at No. 1 in its opening weekend, surpassing the superhero movie Madame Web. As the box office numbers continue to climb, Bob Marley: One Love is set to cross the $80 million mark domestically by the end of Saturday, becoming the first 2024 release to achieve this milestone. Furthermore, it has already surpassed the acclaimed Ray Charles biopic, Ray, to claim the sixth position among the highest-grossing music biopics of all time.

A Box Office Triumph:
Despite facing the inevitable competition from the highly anticipated Dune: Part Two, which is expected to dominate the domestic box office, Bob Marley: One Love has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the music biopic genre. Its impressive performance has set it apart from other similar films. While it remains to be seen how much higher it can climb in the rankings, the movie's success is undeniable.

Currently, the highest-grossing music biopic worldwide is Ray, which amassed an impressive $123.97 million. Bob Marley: One Love has already made its mark by surpassing this milestone, leaving a considerable gap between itself and the next title on the chart. While Variety reports that the domestic earnings of the Marley movie could potentially reach as high as $100 million, it would need significant international grosses to surpass Walk the Line, the current second-highest-grossing music biopic. However, this doesn't discount the possibility of Bob Marley: One Love delivering an impressive showing on the global stage.

If Bob Marley: One Love manages to surpass the $100 million threshold, it would join an exclusive group of films that have achieved such remarkable success at the domestic box office. In 2023, only 24 movies managed to surpass this milestone, with only two of them being biopics. Among them were the runaway hit Oppenheimer and the controversial yet successful Sound of Freedom. As 2024 progresses, there is potential for other biopics to achieve this feat, but Bob Marley: One Love would undoubtedly stand out as one of the few titles to achieve such a high gross.

As it continues to surpass expectations and achieve significant milestones, the movie solidifies its position as a standout music biopic. With its impressive performance at the domestic box office and the potential for further success internationally, Bob Marley: One Love has captivated audiences and cemented its place among the most successful films in the genre.
