‘Michael Jackson’s This Is It’ Has Already Made $19 Million
Michael Jackson’s This Is It opened this week in theaters and it’s already raked in an impressive $19 million.
Concert doc “Michael Jackson’s This Is It” from Sony Pictures continued to dominate the box office in its third day ringing up $7.9 million at 3,481 venues for a running cume of $19.1 million.
For Sony, “This Is It” looks to mark the studio’s seventh No. 1 opener this year at the box office after the release of “Zombieland” earlier this month. While the $7.4 million opening day of “This Is It” on Wednesday charted under the $8.6 million first Friday of Disney’s “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: The Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour,” the Michael Jackson pic has outperformed the opening days of other music docs including Disney’s “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” ($5 million) and Paramount’s “Tupac: Resurrection” ($2.2 million).
It’s quite clearly going to be the most dominant concert film, I just wonder if it will be #1 over this holiday weekend.
