"Domestically, an unprecedented number of shows for the two-week engagement have sold out in the first 24 hours of ticket availability in locations from coast-to-coast, including such cities as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Nashville and New York, among others. Internationally, exhibitors from London and Sydney to Bangkok and Tokyo have experienced the same epic demand. "
In London, Vue Entertainment's Film Buying Director Stuart Boreman said Michael Jackson's This Is It sold more than 30,000 tickets in its first 24-hours, setting the biggest ever one-day sales record in the UK, eclipsing advance buying for films including Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. "I've never seen anything like it in the 25 years I have been film buying," Boreman said. "It's a true phenomenon and sales show no sign of slowing down." (side comment: I agree! it's a f*cking phenomenon, why wasn't I born in the 80s??hate this lol)
"...In Japan, more than $1 million in ticket sales were recorded within the first 24 hours of their release, setting an advanced-sales record unmatched by any movie in history.
Staggering advance sales were reported in Australia, where tickets for Michael Jackson's This Is It purchased through Village Cinemas exceeded the lifetime pre-sales of such blockbusters as Transformers and X-Men Origins. "

I have issue regarding this post. it's true we're celebrity obsessed but I don't like how he used the context in his post. because watching this film ain't a sign of 'obsession' coz' for one I want to see a genius at work. I'm intrigued to see 'what could have been', For one & I'm absolutely certain of this, when Michael Jackson says he's gonna put on the greatest performance of all performance that will be sealed and done! sadly it's not happening however Michael Jackson already fulfilled & delivered his "I'm gonna blow their mind"--The Trailer! a mere tariler! already blew my mind got my jaw dropped to the floor! I've been saying this, I'm gonna say this again "THIS IS IT" WAS BOUND TO BLOW EVERYONE'S FUCKING MIND OFF!!
btw, I'm going to disagree on #3 spot! but won't say much we still got a month to find out.
**anyways he stated some neat stats percentage**

Haters ya'll could talk,

I'll just let facts speak for itself,
what's the point of arguing
if ya'll don't even know
the difference between
FACTS & OPINION!
