The 2004 Oscar-winning Ray Charles movie Ray was surpassed as the sixth highest-grossing music biopic by One Love.

Bob Marley's One Love dominates the charts. Dune: Part Two will surpass it as the highest-grossing domestic title of 2024 after launching to $76 million, but the music biopic is doing well.

Whether it can climb the rankings is unknown. Ray's $123.97 million tops the list by $62.82 million.

Variety expects the Bob Marley film to gross $100 million domestically but must outgross Walk the Line overseas. Despite that, it will succeed.

A $100 million domestic box office for Bob Marley: One Love would be unusual. Only 24 movies attained that milestone in 2023.

Only two were biopics: the smash Oppenheimer and the controversial but profitable Sound of Freedom. The Marley film would be one of the few biopics to reach that threshold in 2024.
