‘This Is It’ (No it Isn’t)

Michael Jackson’s live concert movie ‘This is It’ was originally scheduled to run for two weeks only, but the box office has given its producers $101 million little reasons to run the show longer. (Gee, didn’t see that one coming.) The movie will now run through Thanksgiving and is the first in what is expected to be a long, looooong, looooooooong line of products and productions designed to make money off the MJ estate.

Two thirds of the gross came from world wide audiences, proving that even postmortem, Jackson is still a bigger draw overseas than he is here in the U.S.

Japan, the U.K.  and Germany led the list of countries who paid big bucks to see the flick.
