This is It, y'all. (sony pictures)
Footage from Michael Jackson’s rehearsals for his world tour have been compiled into a film to be officially released today. (Tickets have been on sale since Sept. 27.)
Locally, the film is showing at The Rave, Chenal 9 and Tinseltown. The film’s official site has movie times.
Even at this point, with a month of ticket sales behind them, promoters still have no idea how well the film will be received. Some think it’s likely to pass the $31.1 million opening weekend (and $65.3 million overall) of the Hannah Montana concert film, according to the associated press.
“It reminds me of Blair Witch, it reminds me of Fahrenheit 9/11, it reminds me of Passion of the Christ. You even have to throw in Snakes on a Plane. Films that are bigger than life and just unpredictable. We don’t really know how they’re going to do,” said Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Hollywood.com, in an associated press story.
The film takes more than 100 hours of footage that was shot in the weeks before Jackson’s death. Until last night’s world premiere, critics had not yet had a chance to preview This Is It.
