This Is It DVD Scheduled For January Release

this-is-it-poster1__opt11__opt1.jpg

The Michael Jackson documentary This Is It will be available for purchase on DVD on January 26, 2010.

Too late to be a stocking stuffer for this year.

The DVD features MJ's final performances in two documentaries, Staging the Return: Beyond the Show and Staging the Return: The Adventure Begins.

The flick has grossed over than $70 million in the US alone, so hopes are high for DVD sales. Though releasing it after the holidays might hurt the numbers a bit.

Will U be buying This Is It on DVD?

      Re: Lilplayboii

      I agree…Perez is just being like all those other media types that pretended to give a shit in the few days after Michael died and were all pro-Michael…but now that he's been dead for almost 6 months, its back to kicking Michael and his memory into the ground…Fucking stupid assholes!!! Michael is THE King of All Entertainment and has accomplished more DEAD than all of the fucking idiots to grace this website have ever done (or ever will do) in the entire lives!!!
      So fuck off, Haters….



    25. 25

      I have seen This Is It 4 times in the theaters. I find it fascinating. Of course I will buy the DVD. A truly remarkable documentary.

      I think this DVD is date release proof. That is to say you could put it up for sale any day and it will go to #1 and sell incredibly well.



    32. 32

      MJ fans, just answer this question - what have you done or where have you been for the last 27 years? Under the biggest rocks on the planet?
      In your parents' basement?
      Even Trekkies seem more mature and realistic ( and less hate filled and death
      threatening)



    33. 33

      Does it come with bonus footage of MJ fellating the lil ones? That was his passion. A little ween on the bottom lip



    34. 34

      YES i will be buying it, even though i saw it in theatres!



    35. 35

      I've seen 'This Is It' twice in the theater and just loved it. I will definitely purchase the dvd. Can't wait! Love you Michael! You are forever missed.



    36. 36

      I'll be buying 2! one for me and one for my mom! i was hoping it would go on sale for Christmas but its OK. My mom loves him. I can remember growing up in the 80's and watching Moonwalker and The Wiz hundreds of times with her. I know she'll LOVE it!

      Re: take the pickle out – "MJ fans, just answer this question - what have you done or where have you been for the last 27 years? Under the biggest rocks on the planet?

      Perhaps you should evaluate your own life and then answer your own "Off the Wall" questions… Here's a question for you though.. Why in the world are you on an MJ post making absolutely no sense whatsoever??



    38. 38

      Re: bongo – Your just as obsessed with Michael as miss Sticky_and_Slanderous. I'm sure you know there will be no such footage b/c Michael had no interest in such perverted things that you choose to constantly talk about. Would you happen to have such footage lurking in your home though?? But if you don't believe me when I say that this "footage" that you speak of won't be on this wonderful DVD then you will be able to see for yourself b/c Michael obsessed people like you will have no less then 5 copies of your own. Be patient.. January is just next month.



    39. 39

      Re: take the pickle out

      You realize, that his album 'Thriller' is the best selling album of all time, correct?
      These were really good sales for someone who has passed.



    40. 40

      Re: lucygoosie – "You realize, that his album 'Thriller' is the best selling album of all time, correct?"

      Exactly.. and "take the pickle out" wants to know what MJ fans have been doing for the last 27 yrs. not realizing that he or she is asking this totally unecessary question on the eve of "Thriller" being 26 years old. What have you been doing for the last 26 years "take the pickle out??" "take the pickle out" obviously hasn't been as successful as an album that was released 26 years ago if he or she is questioning the fans of a man who has succeeded at accomplishing such a historical feet.



    41. 41

      yes sir! i will definitely buy it!



    42. 42

      ABSOLUTELY — HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!

      MJ was not only a music genius and the greatest entertainer of all time but also a very fascinating artist and person and I love him more,so of course I'm buying the DVD. The movie was enthralling and certainly the greatest musical documentary ever created.

      Re: MJ fan59 – Hello, Happy Holiday season. I respect you as the most knowledgeable MJ source on this site. You helped me change many of my opinions about the person and artist (I never even told you Scream is one of my top 10 songs of all time, the mix where they swear, and video as well). I was on Wikipedia (I know a dubious source often) but on the MJ entry I went to the first article in the notes section and clicked on it.
      The article is a Wall Street Journal article about MJ's (and others') album sales. I was wondering where you stand on this . I think the point is everybody has exaggerated and inaccurate sales figures and that before 1991 there was no accurate way to count sales. It seems to be inarguable that Thriller is the best selling album worldwide ever but total MJ sales of 750 million? Is it closer to 350 million? Let me know your thoughts I respect them.



    65. 65

      YESS!!



    66. 66

      I dont understand this MJ stuff! He had a few hits in the 80's but common, hes a pediphile!



    67. 67

      Re: ap076 – Thank You! though I don't think I'm the most knowledgeable. I think alot of fans and even the haters on here know the same stuff I do and Happy Holidays to you as well ;) Regarding his record sells ( I believe you were referring to his total amount of all albums sold) I do believe that 750 million seems about right even if basing it off of Thrillers success alone. Alot of people fail to realize that though it took Michael a good 6-8 years to release albums, all his albums sold extremely well. That including Invincible. Though Invincible didn't sell as well as Thriller or even Dangerous etc., it still out sold alot of albums from other artist of that year and years prior.



    68. 68

      Re: ap076 – I have also always wondered about how and who actually sits up and tabulates things like this but obviously someone is doing it and did it well enough to look at his sells compared to other artist sells and off of that place Michael in things like the Guinness Book of World Records several times. To be quite honest, I think "Thriller" could easilly be at or close to 350 million sold. I don't trust Wikipedia either but one thing I saw on there awhile ago seems true.. regarding "Thriller" selling about 1 million per week at it's peak. To take numbers like that and compare it to the way it sold during the years after, especially taking into consideration the increase in Thriller's sells after his passing ;( (I hate saying that.) Also I don't think Michael is the only artist with numbers this high. There have only been a few, and there will only be a few who can sell records like this.



    69. 69

      Re: ap076 – LOL ok I re-read your question again… Let me rephrase what I said and put it simpler because I even confused myself… I agree with you that "Thriller" is and has been for many years to be the biggest selling album of all time. I don't know if it sold 750 million b/c that's CRAZY to think that one album can sell that much but then again it is Michael ;) Around 350 million seems more resonable for Thrillers total number sold. And I said b4 that 750 million albums seemed more logical for TOTAL number of all his albums sold but after thinking about it that seems too low if taking into account his total amount worldwide. Who will ever know?? All I know is Michael sells records like no other lol



    70. 70

      buying it! definitely for sure



    71. 71

      absolutely! MJ is a legend…

      Re: MJ fan59 – Thanks for your reply. I was wondering if you clicked on the Wall Street Journal Article. I knew but phrased poorly that MJ sold 750 million different albums and Thriller is estimated in the 110 Million Range. Not including the millions sold of Thriller 25 which is the copy I own because I had Thriller on Vinal and then casette, then CD and now digital. The article is really about inflated sales figures and seems well researched. It cites the whole record industry.



    73. 73

      Re: ap076 – No, I hadn't looked at the Wall Street's Journal article. I will look that up when I get back though… Gotta get ready to go see "This is It" for the billionth and 1 time since today is the last time it's going to be in theatres here lol ;)



    74. 74

      HELL yeah! i'm buying this
