The Michael Jackson concert movie, “This Is It” topped the box office over the weekend, taking in $21.3 million. The film opened last Wednesday and has already taken in $32.5 million domestically.
Sony Pictures, which released the film and initially said the movie would play for two weeks, announced Sunday that it would play through the Thanksgiving weekend. Sony’s “$60 million to acquire rights was money well spent,” says Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com.
Last week’s top draw, “Paranormal Activity” continued to scare up solid business at the box-office with a $16.5 million take.
“Law Abiding Citizen” continues to deliver solid box-office results, coming in at number three with $7.3 million in ticket sales.
“Couples Retreat” and “Saw VI” rounded out the top five for the Halloween weekend.
If he had not of died no one would care. He was a washed up pedophile until his death. I do not know how you can be a fan of such a sick and demented person as MJ. I blame the people and his family more than MJ. I cannot wait until he is no longer making news. Go RIP please!!!!!
Agreed. Some people have completely lost their damned minds, forgetting that he liked to molest little boys. Seriously, wtf?
