This Is It Tickets For $1

Filed under: Film Flickers > Michael Jackson

thisisitposter__opt11.jpg

And it's only been out since Wednesday!

As part of a promotion for "Fandango Friday", the online ticket seller is giving away $1 tickets for This Is It to the first 50 people in every major city on their email list that enter a special promotional code.

If they're selling giving away tickets at this price, Sony may be more disappointed than we expected!

    They actually do that often. They did it with Harry Potter and UP. But good luck being one of the ones to get the tickets. Its not a sign of its box office power/weakness.



  2. 2

    Fandango does this EVERY Friday (or nearly), with whatever the "big" movie is that's out this week. It's not a reflection of the movie, it's just a promotion.

  5. 5

    SHUT UP PEREZ! YOU JERK!



  6. 6

    I was about to comment that they do that with every new release, but y'all got to it first.



  7. 7

    Wow, well Fandango just basically sabotaged the film's weekend revenue, just sayin'.



  8. 8

    This is a usual promo. It's NOT sponsored by Sony, it's to get people to Fandango to pay the ridiculous prices to buy tickets.

    Shut up MJ HATER! I will never forget what you said before he died, the movie was great. MJ KING OF MUSIC 4-EVER



  10. 10

    No, P, not because it's a flop! This is done OFTEN. I saw the movie, and it was magical. I'm not even a huge MJ fan, but bless him and the magic that he was. I LOVED it. 4 stars from me!!!



  13. 13

    Perez they do this ALL THE TIME! A lot of people read your site. PLEASE get your facts straight before running off at the mouth, especially about someone like MJ, who was abused by people like you for years! As usual you have your facts wrong about him (faking his heart attack anyone?)



  14. 14

    You're amazing Porkez!
    You know shit about marketing, no wonder your shitty tour failed.



  15. 15

    Re: LV-Entergetic – I was being sarcastic.



  16. 16

    just wacthed the film it was amazing, sum of my freinds werent even fans, now their converted.



  17. 17

    I think it's a SIGN that SONY is doing VERY well with sales! Sounds to me like you have it all wrong Perez!



  18. 18

    i sweat this guyz the only one tryna make the film look bad, everyone else is saying its doing brilliant. im sure if it was lady gaga he would say this is epic.



  19. 19

    Maybe if you had done the same with your shitty tour and the Z-list singers in it you would have broken records just like the 'This is it" movie. Now keep on eating tacos. That you can do very well (and it shows). Happy Halloween everybody.

    Im with you!!



  21. 21

    Hey Mike…how's the heat down there? lmao



  22. 22

    Lots N' lots of love to all of you who are TRUE MJ fans and who TRULY love & defend him against idiots who get off on shittin' on the poor guy's memory every chance they until it's trendy again to hop back on the "Supportin' MJ" bandwagon!
    I saw "THIS IS IT" and thought it was awesome…I will never forget that movie or the incredible man starring in it.



  23. 23

    Pumpkinhead knows all about marketing. That's why his wonderful tour of the gayborhood had an average attendance of 50 people per venue, even though he GAVE the tickets away. How's the Sliimy contest going? Any entries yet??



  24. 24

    Yeah, this definitely happens EVERY Friday for some movie or another…



  25. 25

    Fandango does that promotional all the time. It is not unusual. Since you don't pay to see movies anymore, you wouldn't know that.



  26. 26

    The movie is not bombing! The movie is successful AND is getting great reviews. They do this often, and if you actually knew information before you started talking out of you ass, you wouldn't look like such an idiot most of the time. Your seriously a joke.



  27. 27

    Looks like no one wants to see the pedophile making an @ss of himself.



  28. 28

    a fake movie for a fake star who was really a pedophile drug addict
    who did nothing since 1980's, get a life, fans



  29. 29

    Re: the squirrel – um okay take your meds now, squirrel
    the 80's are OVER



  30. 30

    Perez, this is SO stupid. Fandango does this ALL the time. For the record, the movie made over $20 million in it's first day, not $2 million like you reported. Stop trashing Michael Jackson's achievements, it's SO old.



  31. 31

    Considering the real news just reported a three day gross of $21 million on the movie, I think Sony is going to do just fine.



  32. 32

    I really hope this IS it! Let Micheal RIP!



  33. 33

    saw the movie today.
    it makes you want to dance and cry and think about what a talent lost.
    and HE DID NOT LOOK ILL. he sang LIVE no lip synching, danced with the dancers half his age and kept up.
    god bless him. i know he's in a better place.



  34. 34

    god i swear i can't come here anymore do you even read what you write did you black out then you typed the word "promotion" go to hell you mj hater



  35. 35

    I don't think THAT many people cared when he died, some did, just not as many as the media or his family makes it out to be…most people i knew were just like "oh no, lets listen to thriller" and then he wasn't talked about again. This guy was a singer who lost his light YEARS ago, he had talent but that all got overshadowed…can't we all just move on to something more important?



  36. 36

    I just saw it and This Is It is the most wonderful film EVER!!. Love Love Love it. Go while you can. Omigod. I want to see it again and again. Michael made every note count. Every note was a movement. it was soooo beautiful. An amazing film. go see it.



  37. 37

    I saw the movie and it is def not a "fake". The movie shows the true MJ, a man who cared about our world and the future of this world. People are too quick to judge him. Even as a true MJ fan I realize that some of the speculations that I can't prove as wrong are upsetting to his legacy, but looking at his legacy as a whole I am eternally grateful for his genius artistic ability. I am from a younger generation who was just born when his music was in the limelight, but I have developed an appreciation just as grand as anyone else because his music relates to everyone no matter what generation. MJ's talent was immeasurable and his legacy will live on forever!!



  38. 38

    kktina !



  39. 39

    I just saw the movie and I am still stunned.It was really good and also sad.

    Give it up, Perez.There is no way you can win this fight of hate against MJ.The film is hot, hot, hot, and you will be wasting your time trying to pretend otherwise. MJ for ever and ever and ever!
