Centering on the band Queen and their iconic frontman, the movie has earned $50 million in its opening weekend, far exceeding expectations, and coming in just shy of the $52 million it cost to make.
With numbers adjusted for inflation, Bohemian Rhapsody has scored the second highest grossing for a music biopic, just behind Straight Outta Compton.
Despite the huge numbers and audience buzz, critics have given the flick mixed reviews, holding 60% on Rotten Tomatoes.
