Have your say: Michael Jackson
The movie was a huge success at the cinema, now fans are enjoying it in the comfort of their own home. It follows the singer as he prepared for his ill-fated London gigs.
It shifted 1.2million copies in its first week in the US, and is flying off shelves in the UK.
This Is It director and MJ's friend, Kenny Ortega, is glad of the reception: "I was just concerned that in the end it would serve the fans, that they would get from it what they needed to get from it"
If Jackson had been alive he would have been just finishing up his mamouth O2 residency. The late King of Pop was due to begin the 50 dates in July last year, just before he died on June 25.

The film shows rehearsals for Michael Jackson’s 50 London gigs, which had been planned for last summer.
He died weeks before his first date at the O2 Arena.
Rob Salter, of the Kensington branch of Tesco in London, said: “First-day sales have been extraordinary.”
