Bohemian Rhapsody hit the theaters on November and collected $50 million in box office sales in the United States and $141.7 million globally over the weekend, according to CNN.
The Queen biopic follows the story of the British band and lead vocalist Freddie Mercury, who is played by Rami Malek.
The film featured all the looks and styles you would expect from Queen and Freddy Mercury and captured the authenticity of the British rock band during the early 1970s.
The iconic band won several major music awards including two Grammy Hall of Fame awards in 2009 and 2004 for their hit songs “We Will Rock You” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The band was also nominated for two Grammy Awards, one in 1977 for “Bohemian Rhapsody” and another Grammy in 1981 for “Another One Bites The Dust.”
Queen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002.
While Queen is responsible for creating such anthems such as “We will Rock You,” “We Are The Champions,” some of the bands greatest hits also include “Another One Bites The Dust,” “Bohemian Rhapsody,” and the 1981 collaboration with David Bowie, “Under Pressure.”
Queen frontman Freddie Mercury would have turned 72 this year and whenever you watch footage or view photos of the lead singer, you’re instantly drawn to the his eccentric and flamboyant approach to fashion.
