Really, I am getting angry that there is no professionell social media..management for Michaels account`s.
It is just not believable that there are just no announcement`s or interviews about the release from the 4K-short-films and no promotion and mention of the album few days before release.

And about Sony. Does anyone know how long the contract last. I wonder why the biopic will be distributey by Lionsgate and not Sony.

I'm extremely pissed. I was in the bathroom thinking this same thing...I care entirely too much. It's a reason why mj wanted branca far away from him in 2009 & fired him back then
 
Is it normal for 4k videos to take this long to be processed? The 1080p version was up for like a day.
 
The estate could have saved themselves a lot of trouble skipping announcing songs we've already heard, actually. Imagine only talking about songs we haven't had released, instead of making us a week for Carousel again. But that would make the pictograph kinda impossible.

A shame.

It'll last as long as these old dudes want it. It'll change when someone young and smart takes over.

And by smart, I mean, in vogue. Branca is barely malicious; he is simply a stodgy, out of touch old man. And has been forever. Ever since he said MJ should've followed up Thriller with an album of cover songs, I knew as much. Guy looks like he has a group chat for Sudoku. MJs estate needed a creative & a business man, not just business men.
 
Richard Lecocq: "Regarding Billie Jean: I had confirmation that the restoration is more complex to achieve because it is in 16mm. Not sure we have it in this vintage at the end of 2022.
Beat It and Thriller are 35mm, so it’s easier to get a good result.

This pretty much confirmed that they probably saw the 1st April post here. Thought about T40, made both covers in 10 minutes, got some songs from the nearest hdd, filled the gaps with released songs and probably fetched the imax remaster for thriller and the moonwalker remaster for beat it and upscaled them to 4k. Since it seems Billie Jean is still in the works. It looks like they started remastering after they saw the backlash for that crap font
 
Okay so what did I miss? They took the HD versions of Thriller and Beat it off Apple and Tidal?? Any reason for this? I’m perplexed…
 
now a few days before the Thriller 40th anniversary album release i'm seriously wondering why they don't do more promotion for the anniversary release so far not seen much on tv or anything like that if you want a big hit then of course you need to do more promotion sony and the estate?🤷
 
Thriller was already remastered in 2017 so theres no excuse for being behind on any of the other films for this project.

Big 3 should have been restored months If not years ago.

As stupid as this sounds -since were talking about the biggest album ever- this would explain everything.
It just seems that album (re)releases or Video remasters are not a priority at all to the estate. Basically everything created by MJ himself seems to be less important to them.

I’m thinking the animated Halloween special and the mashup/remix was also part of the budget? I can’t think of any other reason Scream would require a higher budget than fan events (mediocre as they are), 4K short films, mixing/mastering unreleased songs, billboards, etc.

Let's not forget that arguably the most expensive part of the campaign, the 4K/3D remaster of ‘Thriller’, was done years ago.
