This weekend sees the release of a musical biopic about the ‘King of Pop’, a psychological drama film and a children’s animated film, all co-existing with other films in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole cinemas this weekend.
At the Odeon in Bournemouth, the biggest release this week is Michael, a musical biopic centred around the life of Michael Jackson.
Financially backed by the late superstar’s estate and using his original vocals for the film’s musical numbers, the film sees Jackson’s nephew, Jaafar Jackson, portraying his paternal uncle.
