Will Concert Film Set Box Office Records?
Michael Jackson’s concert film is set to open on 3,400 screens on Wednesday, October 28th. It’s a limited run of just two weeks, but box office analysts are already excited about possible records being set for the flick. More than 1,600 screenings in the United States of Michael Jackson’s This Is It have already sold out through advance ticket sales on websites like Fandango.
Some experts believe This Is It could become the highest-grossing concert movie of all time!
Move Over Hannah Montana?
As This Is It aims at some record breaking box office dollars, Hannah Montana might have to move over. Currently her Hannah Montana/Miley Cryus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, holds the highest-grossing movie title. Last year, despite screening in limited release in the U.S., the Best of Both Worlds movie raised over $70 million worldwide.
In light of advance ticket sales for the Jackson flick, concert promoter AEG, which helped develop the This Is It, predicts the movie will pull in $250 million domestically in its first five days of release. That total would also surpass the $203 million made by the Warner Brothers movie The Dark Knight within the same time frame when it was released.
