Elvis, Warner Bros.’s newest attempt to capitalize on popular singer biopics like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, exploded into theaters this last weekend, raking in a fair amount at the box office and decent praise.

This, coupled with the maniacal manipulations of a corrupt manager, led Elvis down a dark path, eventually resulting in his death.
