Re: >

Please, could you select the US and Worldwide numbers?

What it means 35M??? in the US for the weekend?
 
Re: >

Well, these numbers are nice and all but it's a far cry from the reported $400 millions in debt that Michael had.

How will his estate ever become solvant for his babies and charities with this huge debt to repay and all the lawsuits growing by the day?
 
Re: >

Michael at NO.1 as always.......

The Best!!

Thank you Michael Jackson

I think the state has already gathered more than $400 million already. And that's IF these debts are true anyway.

Re: >

Thanks for posting. One one hand it's good news and wonderful to hear... :punk: ...but on the other it kinda sucks cuz we'd rather he be atop this chart for a different movie and alive to enjoy it. :( Bittersweet but glad to know the film is doing well! Should be interesting to see what the final tally is come Monday morning.

Alot of those lawsuits are bullshit and most definitely will be thrown out.

Big ups to the awesome fans that endured the rains (it rained all night here last night), missed the world series games, missed some trick or treating, and probably spent their last $15 in order to make MJ number 1. I love MJ fans so much.
