This is a movie genre that rehashes old songs of a certain era. It features music by a particular star or group, e.g., Buddy Holly (The Buddy Holly Story), ABBA (Mamma Mia!), Jersey Boys (Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons), etc.

It originates from the term jukebox, which is/was a coin-operated machine that played songs from a list, usually in a diner or bar.
