Kenny Ortega has said over and over again that 90% of the profit goes to the children's trust fund they set up, so i don't think seeing the movie is a big deal.

i saw it yesterday and i thought it was well done. if you're a MJ fan, see it,if you're a documentary fan,see it.

I saw the movie last friday at the arclight in l.a.- and it was amazing. They did it really tastfully and it truely did feel like an awesome way to salute a talented person who has influenced so many. And they are responsible for making it look that way, they pieced together footage and made it look seemless and fantastic and for that alone I have no hard feelings for them, they could have rushed it out and made a piece of shit movie that didnt do mj justice but they didnt. So what ev if they tried to make theirs, no one believed that b.s. about 2 weeks anyway.

I have nothing to add to this but his death ruined my birthday. Now instead of it being my birthday, it's his death day. Thanks a lot MJ.

And even with the so-called limited engagement it didn't do anywhere near what Sony was expecting at the box office. Sony originally predicted it would take $250 million it's first weekend; it wasn't even close. Last Friday Fandango was selling tickets for $1.00! The motivation to extend the release could have been because the gross wasn't what they anticipated.

I have to agree with Christine. There's just no way they wouldn't milk it for more $$ in one way or another.

If someone was silly enough to believe this line of BS, then it's their own fault! I seriously dont' know anyone who actually thought it was going to be a two week run and then gone forever! Corporations will never shoot themselves in the foot when money can be had!

I'm not surprised at all; in fact, I called it (to my husband) when I first heard about it. That's why as much as I'd like to see it, I won't. No movie theater, no DVD, no nothing.

Did you really think they weren't going to get their money's worth and try to squeeze it for more???

You called it, Enty. As per usual.

sony screwing over the general public...this surprises you why now?

you forgot that they also platformed it as opposed to going wide in the first place.

sneaky bastards, but brilliant marketing move.
