I had hoped that this movie would do well, but the success in its opening weekend is amazing. It made over $ 50 million. It also made another $70 million overseas. 

The story of Freddie Mercury is very compelling and inspiring. He was such a free spirit and a genius. His showmanship was also magnificent. 

Rami Malek had big shoes to fill and I think that he did an admirable job in the challenging role. I think that he deserves an Oscar nomination; we’ll have to wait and see if the Academy thinks so too.
