"Michael Jackson's" This Is It "took 2.2 million U.S. dollars on the market within the first investigations into the night, the introduction to a great full day of the opening on Wednesday and a powerful shot in a week-end No. 1 debut . The evening screenings were enough fear alone top $ 1.7 billion Flick, that Paramount's "Paranormal Activity, Weekend Movie # 1, held on Tuesday the whole day. With Halloween at hand, Paranormal Activity "is the widest release yet of the 2,400 rooms, cons implanted about 3500 for" this is it. "Distributor Sony, said yesterday morning on" This Is It "has already surpassed print film screenings, the first night. The studio has paid about $ 60 million for worldwide rights to the film, which was distilled over 100 hours of footage, as Jackson repeatedly would that 50-run comeback concert in London in July last year off. While "Is This It" Watchers is not quite a concert film, measuring the box office success cons "Hannah Montana / Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert," which greatest concert film on the plate. "Best of Both Worlds" was a weekend with $ 31.1 million last year on the opening and shot 65.3 million in the country during his entire performance. "This Is It" is not yet in contact with the box-office records major.

Sony, the "opening This Is It" simultaneously in 99 countries, wants the field in the world in the room Thursday results for the first full day of the movie version. "This Is It" faces obstacles in its first weekend, which falls on Halloween, when the main competition will be horror films such as "Paranormal Activity" and "Saw VI." Halloween itself itself, which falls on Saturday, mainly active in the theater cut lines of insurance, with many fans to film the benefit of the parties. With the death of Jackson had a few weeks before the concerts open to the samples now seems like a final curtain, and the fans were lucky to get a last glimpse of the singer at work. Some are left surprised by the level of individuals and their hands on Jackson in a low voice, as he has been developing the musical numbers with her backup dancers and musicians. "It was very, very good in all the details of his work," said Marilyn Morrison, who has seen, "This Is It" in New York City.
