There has to be a 90-day window after the movie has played in theaters before it\u2019s available in stores.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis Is It\u201d is set to play for two weeks, from October 28th through November 13th. Sony won\u2019t admit it, but if it does well, the documentary could get a one or two week extension in theaters.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, count 90 days from the end of its theater run before you can buy it as a DVD. That means no Michael Jackson Christmas. The earliest it would turn up is February 13, 2010.<\/p>\n<p>That nugget of info should create even more demand for tickets to the theater run. Even this reporter assumed \u201cThis Is It\u201d would be the stocking stuffer of all time. But sources inside say no, and that\u2019s it. Fans will have to rely on the collector\u2019s item soundtrack CD featuring the songs from the movie in their original recorded versions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/showbiz411.blogs.thr.com\/michael-jackson-this-is-it-2\/\">Showbizz411<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michael Jackson\u2019s \u201cThis Is It\u201d opens worldwide in theaters on October 28th.
