Jamaican Reggae musician, songwriter, and singer Bob Marley has been making waves with the release of the biopic 'One Love.' Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film has been a commercial success, quickly climbing the ranks to become one of the top-earning musical biopics in the United States.
As of March 4, 'Bob Marley: One Love' has raked in nearly $83 million at the American box office alone, with a global total of $146 million. This places it as the seventh-highest-grossing musician biopic in the U.S., surpassing the likes of 'Ray,' the biopic about Ray Charles.
While 'Bohemian Rhapsody' still holds the title for the highest-grossing musical biopic in U.S. history, earning over $216 million, 'Bob Marley: One Love' is steadily climbing the ranks. It currently sits just behind 'I Can Only Imagine,' with a mere $1 million difference in box office earnings.
It's worth noting that these rankings are not adjusted for inflation, meaning older biopics like 'Coal Miner's Daughter' may have earned more in today's dollars. However, the success of 'Bob Marley: One Love' is undeniable, having claimed the top spot at the U.S. box office for three consecutive weeks since its release.
Despite facing competition from other films like 'Dune 2,' which recently took over the number one spot, 'Bob Marley: One Love' continues to draw audiences and generate significant revenue. With its compelling portrayal of the reggae superstar's rise to fame, the biopic is poised to climb even higher in the rankings in the weeks to come.
