Michael Jackson Bigger Than New Moon!

jacksonthisisit__opt11__opt.jpg

This Is It, the film documenting the preparations for Michael Jackson's comeback tour, has been selling out like like crazy!

Less than a week after tickets went on sale, Fandango reported it as their top-seller and MovieTickets.com claimed they had 550 viewings sell out already. Sony Pictures is even bragging about their big business around the globe!!

The two-week limited engagement works wonders for selling tickets! If you remember correctly, Miley Cyrus' Best of Both Worlds took in $31 million on opening weekend!

And it looks as though the King of Pop will be outpacing Miley by a three-to-one margin!

We're not surprised!

Did U buy tickets yet?!

      Dude, how can you even mention Miley fuckin' Cyrus in the same sentence as Michael Jackson? You should be fucking ashamed of yourself. Disgusting.



    12. 12

      Let him die already! Nobody cared about him until he died! Some of you MJ "fans" need to admit that! you all failed to buy his records in the last 2 decades and you all forgot about him after his molestation trial! He had to go to Europe to make his comeback because every American Fool was too busy judging him! Now that he's dead you all care about him? HAHA! Gimmi a fucking break! I think it's disgusting they're releasing this in theaters to make money off of him. Jacko wasn't Wacko his fans are!

      Yeah the same one your idol honoured at the VMAs and the same one whose children are worshipping his music right now you're such an idiot. He was never a pedophile no matter how many times you say it.

    28. 28

      Who is Miley Cyrus?????? Sorry is she a county star or who is it ???



    29. 29

      Don't get me wrong I love MJ but I'm not going to pay money to see this shit! They're just using his death as an advantage to make money! You all are too stupid to realize it! If they cared for him so much you wouldn't be paying money to the fools that killed him! They should have just released it on national television. But NO! these greedy bastards had to go and release it to theaters so his brain dead fans can pay up to see this!



    30. 30

      No, but Im gonna see it some way. Even if it's the way of The Boot Leg.

      please, i will pass on the hysteria



    33. 33

      Re: amorhombre
      I think every fan knows this but if this isn't a hit the media will just spin this into people not caring about Michael Jackson's music anymore and you know am right. They will never say its because fans refuse to give Sony money so it will just look bad on Michael at least on his legacy. And Michael always wanted to share his music with the fans If fans want to see him behind the scenes before a concert I suggest you guys youtube the dangerous concert. It will probably look similar to what would have been his last concert.



    34. 34

      yeah got mine but where I live is far from sold out yet :/



    35. 35

      king is still kicking everybody's asses!



    36. 36

      LOVE MICHAEL!!! i live in spain and im going tosee it tomorrow!!!



    37. 37

      who is michael jackson? and why would anyone give her $$??



    38. 38

      Re: MJJ

      Agree with you! This is a win/lose situation. If it flops maybe Sony would quit releasing shit like this for profit. Michael didn't want to be associated with Sony anymore it's upsetting that they're still making so much money on him. It happened with Selena as well, the record label made so much money after her death and the movie was a big hit (hence, Jennifer Lopez became famous after that movie) I'm not comparing Selena to Michael Jackson, Selena was killed before she could crossover at age 23. But a dead Celebrity is a Gold Mine to the record labels, executives, and managers.



    39. 39

      Re: madonna is shit – Listen dip shit! He sold his records with Thriller and Bad any thing else after that didn't come close! Do you know how many records he sold when INVINCIBLE came out? It barely went Platinum! I was one of the few who bought it! I never said he didn't sell shit! He did! More so in the 80's and early 90s! He sold a total of 750 combined with the sales of when he was with the Jackson 5 so you get your information straight you jack ass!



    40. 40

      This made me smile. The nationwide fascination with Twilight is mildly depressing.



    41. 41

      Hell no.. never will!



    42. 42

      Re: amorhombre – actually he sold 9 million of invisible that was his worse

      lol its funny because even at his worst he still does good

    43. dtg says – reply to this


      43

      Sony has nothing to brag about. It's Michael Jackson. Further, if every film release were only for two weeks with no mention of a DVD release at a later date, then ticket sales would be through the roof for most films. I am disgusted by the greedy chase of dollars and exploitation of fans by AEG and Sony. We should be able to see this film and maintain our dignity at the same time. A stampede for tickets and fighting for seats at a theater near you is repulsive. Shame on Sony.



    44. 44

      Re: tick_tock_tick_tock – are you talking to us or madonna??
      oh and where were you after madonnas wonderfull speech eh? took a while to digest did it?? omg, i would have paid good money to have been a fly on your wall whilst you was watching that!! priceless!!! LMAO!!!

      Re: amorhombre – erm actually michael jacksons fans have stood by him through everything, not just since he died, and dont tell me when i last bought an mj cd. and if it was true that nobody cared untill he died then he wouldnt have had 50 record breaking sellout concerts under his belt would he? no other artist could do that!
      just accept it, michael jackson is the king, and everything associated with this man has always been and will always be big!



    47. 47

      Re: amorhombre – "I was one of the few who bought it!"
      you was one of the 9 MILLION who bought it you mean! yes ok it didnt do as good as his previous albums but it still sold more than anybody else! what artist this decade can sell 9 million? only michael jackson thats who.

    53. 53

      Got my entire families tickets. I am torn about supporting a Sony film though, we'll see what happens with his 50% of the catalog but Branca & McClain better NEVER let it go or we'll all know that was the plan the entire time.



    54. 54

      i got my ticket ON THE DAY the tickets were on sale in Canada. SO FREAKIN` EXCITED !

      LONG LIVE THE KING, indeed



    60. 60

      You know what makes this news sad is that his dang concert promoters could have had him do 02 for a one week engagement then put the tour onto the big screen and make a ton more money and take the stress off of Jackson, who knows if that would have helped relieve his stress or not, but it would have been a good idea.



    61. 61

      It shouldn't be a suprise that this film would be this successful. Weren't you paying attention to the selling out of the tickets for the concert? Oh yeah, how could you notice that. You were too busy talking crap about him during that time….

      R.I.P Michael

      For the billionth and one time he was never a pedophile and FYI Madonna sure did worhip him though….

      Re: amorhombre – First off how is it that you can speak for us fans? I for one have been a fan of Michael's ever since I was a toddler (litteraly) My first words were probably Michael Jackson ( Actually they were Dad but I knew more about Michael then that dead beat) but anyways I digress… Alot of the fans who comment on his post now were here months before he past away speaking highly of him and defending his name and if you don't believe me you can go back about 200 post and see for yourself. Their have been new fans since his passing who have come on this site speaking highly of him but there is nothing wrong with that. Secondly Invincible was a very successful record. No, it wasn't on the level (sales wise) as his prior albums but contrary to what you said Invincible did go Platinum in many countries including America. There are alot of artist out now who haven't and can't sell as many albums as Invincible sold. And I happened to be one of the many fans who also purchased that wonderful album so You Were Not Alone…



    66. 66

      Re: MJ ROCKS!!! – "and if it was true that nobody cared untill he died then he wouldnt have had 50 record breaking sellout concerts under his belt would he? no other artist could do that!"

      True, True, True ;)



    67. 67

      Yep! Me and my friend bought VIP seats! Woo! duno if i can go though :( :(



    68. 68

      I doubt it's gonna be bigger then New Moon they sold out tickets 2 months before the release. The MJ Movie is only going to be in theaters for 2 weeks of course it is going to have tons of attention. I could care less either way, all you fans that think you are supporting Michael Jackson how can that really be if the Man is already passed away? What would if matter if you saw it on opening night as opposed to 2 months later? It doesn't matter, You see how the Marketing Money Machine Works? If you enjoyed his music and made an impact on you then great, just don't turn it into some unhealthy fixation.



    69. 69

      Got tickets for the entire family to see it. Can't wait!! I would watch this documentary/movie even if it will just be Michael Jackson staring at the camera "talking" about his ideas for the London concerts. The dancing and singing shown in the trailer are, in a way, bonuses! Being able to see the behind-the-scene of this creative genius at work is good enough for me.



    70. 70

      Re: Dynamixx – "all you fans that think you are supporting Michael Jackson how can that really be if the Man is already passed away?"

      Are you serious with that question? Michael would have loved for his fans and naysayers to see this wonderful production. Not only are we supporting him and his "This is It" teams creativity but we are also supporting the hard work that they put into this wonderful concert series that tragically never was. Another way were supporting Michael has to do with finances. Sony and AEG aren't the only one's who will profit off of the sales. Michael's estate will be receiving a good amount of the sales so though Michael is no longer here he is still making it possible for his children and family to be supported. It's a chain effect…. We ( this goes for the haters too b/c they will be purchasing tickets as well) support Michael by buying tickets, which then goes to his family, children, and not to mention the charities that he still wished to support. Michael will always have a support system when it comes to his fans. Doesn't Elvis's fans still support him??

      Re: MJ fan59 – He couldn't stand her. Bought Rabi Schmuley's book, what MJ said about Madge. Oh dear! Surely she's read it & rethinking her "fondness" for MJ. The emotional speech on MTV; on and on about their fabulous date. I wonder if she still uses that specific "finger" for those things? Poor MJ, he was truly afraid/despised females, and those who chased him all over the globe..in his face, outside his house, stalking the man..he liked his women on the boyish side more precisely "a tomboy" and quiet..except for Princess Diana, Brooke Sheilds, Tate, Lisa M. What do all these women have in common? They're white, have their own money and successful, and not 1 a tomboy. I think the only Black women he cared for were his Mother, 3 sisters and Diana Ross. He was truly an emotional, mental and physical mess. And yes, I was one of those who eased off the MJ bandwagon after the Dangerous era. I thought after Thriller, he became a conceited, self loathing bad liar and a contradiction of the person I grew up with and loved. Did it hurt when I heard that he passed away? Yes. I felt it in the pit of my belly, as if my own brother had passed away again. Do I still love him? I do. But I saw through the magic, the smoke, the glitter. MJ was a flawed human being like us and thought himself in a different relm than the rest of us mere humans. What ev man.

    80. 80

      Re: tincan – Ummm I'm a bit confused.. What are you trying to say? And why are you trying to tell me? You say Michael was flawed; we are all flawed. Michael was a human being and that is exactly what he tried to convey to those who cared to pay attention to him. Not him the entertainer but him the man.. I did buy the book so I guess your bringing the Shmuley book up because of the other post that talks about the book where I said that I bought it, but I have yet to read much of it because I have been busy. I can tell you that one of the things that I think will be in the book that shows that Michael understood that he was a human being and wanted to be treated like you and me is when he walked around his neigborhood going up to strangers asking them to just talk to him and be his friend. He wanted to experience things that you and I experience but was rarely given that oppurtunity because he was looked at as this bigger then life person when all he wanted to be treated was like a "human being." Also you said "he couldn't stand her" are you referring to Madonna? I don't think Michael disliked Madonna, I just think he disliked her personality and felt like they were total opposites when it came to expressing themselves.



    81. 81

      Re: tincan – in continuation…
      Madonna (especially back in the 80 and 90's) was very vocal, straight to the point, and she didn't hold anything back. Michael was more shy, not confrontational, and less intimidating. Michael was somewhat intimidating due to the fact that he was so famous. Madonna was also very famous but she was intimidating because you never knew if she would ignore you, send you away, curse you out, or ablige if you were to ask her for an autograph or something (she happened to send some kids away when they came up to her and Michael at a restaurant.) Michael said she would mellow out once she had children and she sure did.



    82. 82

      omg he was a freaking pedophile- why would anyone want to support that? he died months ago, and he's still on the news everyday…i am sooo sick of hearing about him. everyone needs to get over it, it's not like he was an asset to society.



    83. 83

      Re: jcybtch96xx – lol actaully he wasnt a pedo unless you got some kind of evidence the court jurors who found him INNOCENT didnt. id advise you to STFU and talk what you know
