The film, which captures Jackson in behind-the-scenes performances in the weeks before his death in June as he rehearsed for shows planned for London, pulled in $101 million worldwide in its first five days. Distributor Sony is extending the farewell performance film beyond its planned two-week run.
The film was No. 1 over the Halloween weekend in the US, pulling in $21.3 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday. The previous weekend’s leader, Paramount’s low-budget horror sensation “Paranormal Activity,” slipped to No. 2 with $16.5 million, lifting its total to $84.8 million.
“This Is It” raised its domestic total to $32.5 million. The movie pulled in $68.5 million overseas, including $10.4 million in Japan, $6.3 million in Germany, $5.8 million in France and $3.2 million in China.
“He’s just loved everywhere on the planet,” said Rory Bruer, head of distribution for Sony.
