Despite its troubled production and the fact that fans have a lot of problems with the movie, the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody got a broad release in the United States on Nov. 2, 2018. It’s one of the fall films movie-goers are most excited about, but where does it rank among music movies with the biggest opening weekends?

The biggest opening weekends for music movies

Bohemian Rhapsody needs to make a ton of money to be among the highest grossing music movies ever, but it got off to a good start.

It hauled in $50 million during its opening weekend, almost making back its $52 million budget, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That $50 million total makes it No. 2 among the music movies with the biggest opening weekends.

Bohemian Rhapsody’s troubled production

Things in Hollywood can move slowly, and that’s what happened with Bohemian Rhapsody. It took the better part of a decade to go from concept to finished product.

2010: Queen guitarist Brian May tells the BBC that Sacha Baron Cohen is playing singer Freddie Mercury in the movie.

2011: In an interview with the Daily Record, May says the rest of his bandmates are hesitant to make the movie.

2013: Cohen steps aside after some dreaded “creative differences.”

2015: Anthony McCarten replaces Oscar-winner Peter Morgan as the screenwriter.

2016: Rami Malek joins the cast to play Freddie Mercury.

2017: The production company fires Bryan Singer as director, but he’s still credited with the finished product.

What do the reviews say about Bohemian Rhapsody?

Spoiler alert! The Bohemian Rhapsody reviews are mixed.

Rolling Stone reviewer Peter Travers gushes about Malek’s performance, writing, “Screw the film’s flaws, you don’t want to miss his performance.”

The movie earns a so-so 60% fresh rating at review site Rotten Tomatoes. Reviewing for Slate, Jeffrey Bloomer writes that Bohemian Rhapsody is fun and infuriating all at once.

However, Roger Ebert’s website and The New York Times were less forgiving. It earned a 1-star review from Ebert reviewer Sheila O’Malley, while the Times writes that “the film seems engineered to be as unmemorable as possible.” Ouch.
