The movie about Jackson\u2019s rehearsals for shows that never took place, \u201cThis Is It,\u201d hit $240 million worldwide this weekend. That gives Jackson the biggest concert film and documentary ever. Jackson\u2019s kids will wind up very wealthy from this film thanks to his executors. Remember, Sony paid a $60 million advance. The footage from all those rehearsals has become a bonanza. And this column told you first that AEGLive had 100 hours of it.  That was back on June 29th, four days after Michael was killed.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/showbiz411.blogs.thr.com\/michael-jackson-this-is-it-hits-240-mil-worldwide\/\">Showbiz411<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2122","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-michael-jackson-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>This Is It - Tops $240 Million Worldwide - Michael Jackson MJSTAR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/mjstar.co.uk\/index.php\/2009\/12\/this-is-it-tops-240-million-worldwide\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"This Is It - Tops $240 Million Worldwide - Michael Jackson MJSTAR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/mjstar.co.uk\/index.php\/2009\/12\/this-is-it-tops-240-million-worldwide\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Michael Jackson MJSTAR\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/mjstaronline\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-12-03T14:19:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mjstar.co.uk\\\/index.php\\\/2009\\\/12\\\/this-is-it-tops-240-million-worldwide\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mjstar.co.uk\\\/index.php\\\/2009\\\/12\\\/this-is-it-tops-240-million-worldwide\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/mjstar.co.uk\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/23490550cd6d5237805f04611a00790f\"},\"headline\":\"This Is It &#8211;
