The King of Pop has topped the charts once again - but this time at the box office. Michael Jackson’s This Is It was the number one movie this Halloween with a $21.3 million opening weekend.
The behind-the-scenes concert film pulled in $101 million worldwide in its first five days, prompting distributor Sony to extend the movie’s release beyond the planned two-week run.
Trailing in second place at the box office was Paramount’s surprise smash, the low-budget horror movie Paranormal Activity which made $16.5 million.
Since it was released on Oct. 27, This Is It has made $32.5 million in the US and $68.5 million overseas.
”He’s just loved everywhere on the planet,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony of Michael Jackson. ”It doesn’t matter if it’s Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, South America. Every continent in the world loved him and his music.”
This is very good news!
I saw the movie, and it’s really great! Love MJ ever more now!

I saw the movie and it was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!! At the end, NO ONE in the theater moved from their seats until the screen was blank and everyone was clapping and giving a standing ovation. LOVED IT!!. Love you forever, Michael.

Saw the movie it was great! he was truly the king of pop!
This film was wonderful…..The experience was so surreal, you would have thought it was a prelude to a concert and he was going to surface at any moment…..I still can’t believe he is gone…….I thought is showed Michael as who he truly was….I hope it will be out for purchase eventually this will live on forever.
the movie was so good!!!!! words literally cant describe how incredible this man was and remains to this day. at the end everyone was just sitting there gaping at the screen, it was so unbelievable. its just so sad that he had to die for everyone to realise what a gift he was to the world. love you michael ……xoxo RIP<3
I want to see the movie again and again. Can’t wait for it to be released on DVD so I can have it forever. Thank you for making this documentary. I was so happy to see him looking so beautiful, contrary to what has been splashed all over the media, but I was also so sad because you really get this feeling of great loss at the end. You know he will never perform and THIS really IS IT. Love you always Michael. Rock on in Heaven, Angel.
