'Michael Jackson's This Is It' Tops The Saturday Box Office Report
MTV Movies Blog —
... Deadline Hollywood Daily has an extensive report on the relatively disappointing financial performance of "This Is It," stating that AEG predicted that the film would rake in "$250 million in its first 5 days." That outcome is extremely unlikely now with "This Is It" slated for a cumulative $32.5 million by Sunday's end, despite overall positive reviews.

The film made $20.7 million over the Halloween weekend, which was much less than Sony had expected. Paranormal Activity followed close behind with $16.6 million.
Sony execs apparently think that the initial talk of sold-out screenings during the pre-sale has kept fans from turning out to see the movie.

... estimates that the film made $7.85M, which would be the sixth best day ever. Further, THIS IS IT became the fourth nonfiction to lead the theatrical box office for the weekend. Estimates say the film took in more than $21M this weekend (which brings its total cume to $32.5M. International figures already put the film over $100M in its initial bow. Strangely, bizarrely, breathtakingly, there has been a campaign by some to declare the film's box office take a huge disappointment.
