The Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' could be split into two parts as its studio Lionsgate mulls a release date change.

Antoine Fuqua's upcoming Michael Jackson biopic may be split into two movies and will likely push its current Oct. 3 release date.

It doesn’t sound like things are getting any easier for Antoine Fuqua’s Michael Jackson biopic. In January, it was reported that the film was having major issues with its third act—centered around allegations of Jackson’s child abuse and the subsequent media circus—which would lead to reshoots in March.
