With just weeks to go before the 2019 Academy Awards, 20th Century Foxs Bohemian Rhapsody continues to pick up steam, both at the box office where it has raked in nearly $850 million worldwide and as a frontrunner in the Best Actor race, where star Rami Malek has taken home almost every major accolade so far this awards season.
While critics were divided over the Best Picture nominee, fans have lapped up the movies beguiling plot line and energetic concert sequences, giving the biopic a solid A rating on Cinema Score and an 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Further proof of the films success: It came out in early November and is still playing in theaters nationwide three months later (see tickets and showtimes here).
