Better WE than expected in USA !!!
Michael Jackson's This Is It bounced back from a soft Saturday for a stronger Sunday up 18% to $8.3M and a weekend actual of $23.2M domestic. That's still underwhelming given all the pre-sales hype.
It says it all -by Roger:
'This Is It' Revised Box Office: $US 34 million
Michael Jackson’s “This Is It” did better than anyone knew. When Sony releases weekend box office figures today, sources say the Kenny Ortega directed concert film/doc will have done $34.5 million for the period of Tuesday night through Sunday.
That makes the total worldwide boxoffice closer to $105 million. “This Is It” is the most successful concert film ever.
So much for all the negative spin over the weekend. Indeed, the amount of it was truly puzzling. Most regular feature films would be considered “monster hits” if they’d done this well in five days.
Poor Michael Jackson. This was all he ever wanted.
On Sunday, I’m told, the movie was screened for Academy voters. They loved it, apparently, giving “This Is It” a standing ovation. But I wouldn’t get too excited. The film missed the documentary deadline for the Oscars. And it’s unlikely it will get a Best Picture nomination, despite the fervor of the Oscar blogs. A Golden Globe nomination for Comedy/Musical is more likely. And maybe a Best Song nomination for Jackson’s Paul Anka title track.

roger is so vomit inducing. shows how pathetic they are they they swing which ever direction the money is coming from. makes them even worse when they are spewing such hate like he did and prob dont even mean it.
Michael Jackson truly was() the biggest global icon and it's no surprise at all that people would flock to see this movie all over the world!

the person who runs the deadline.com site and rushed every late night of the past weekend to joyfully announce the box office numbers that showed how TII 'underperformed', essentially admits being a hater today -as some here had figured out already. After the overall success that the movie turned out to make in the whole weekend BO, she writes a piece about how AEG should now pay back to the city of LA the 6 mil that policing the summer memorial cost to the city authorities.. I'm not gonna post the actual text, but it's louzy. It should become a lesson to all of us not to be too fast to listen to the doom-and-gloomers as most of the times the are not more than plain haters with their own agenda.
I believe it will hit 250 million
Any update for monday night's turn out..?
