“Michael” is rocking the box office with $12.6 million in North American previews.

That’s the biggest preview haul of the year, above March’s “Project Hail Mary” ($12 million) and February’s “Scream 7” ($7.8 million). The Michel Jackson biopic earned $3.8 million of its haul from early access screenings on Wednesday. “Project Hail Mary” ended up earning $80 million in its opening weekend while “Scream 7” debuted to $63 million. “Michael” will easily top the box office as this weekend’s only major new release.
