Michael 2 has been allocated US$30.8 million in California tax incentives, Variety reports. The Lionsgate sequel is among 35 films receiving a combined US$226 million in the California Film Commission's latest approval round. The allocation is a production tax-credit incentive, not confirmation that an equivalent cash payment has already been made. The more than US$1 billion box-office figure mentioned in the report belongs to the original Michael, not to the upcoming sequel.
