Hope you’re all ok over there!
I was wondering if there is any info on the internet about this rumor on the History Tour being presented in theatres?
Oh god I hope not.
omg that would be amazing
Mikky Dee;4223386 said:Yeah, I would like it, too. I know that John Branca stated that he'd like to do something with the HIStory Tour.....that's what probably sparked the rumour.....but there hasn't been anything definitive. I won't get excited until there's an official announcement.
It should just be another DVD and Blu Ray release to be honest because it would be more successful perhaps.
Give us HAWAII!

Tours
Mr. Branca told us that Michael’s ‘HIStory’ tour (1996-1997) was really the only tour filmed that is suitable for high definition, surround sound, multi camera angles etc… He foresees that the tour could possibly be released when they come to commemorate that album or during an anniversary. He did add that ‘HIStory’ is his favorite album but doubts it would ever be a theatrical release, meaning it would probably go straight to DVD/Netflix.
John Branca said that he would like to see the HD HIStory Tour concert to be released in 3D in cinemas. He said it at Bad 25 Q&A in 2012. I hope that doesn't happen. HIStory Tour shouldn't be shown in cinemas. It has too much lip-syncing so it wouldn't make Michael look good. Maybe a Blu-ray/dvd release.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the History tour should fade into obscurity and never be given the spotlight for even a moment.
Would have been more interesting,doing something with the "Dangerous"Tour...
The TII rehearsal movie was successful, so there's no reason why a HWT full concert in HD with surround sound and lots of camera angles, wouldn't also be successful. Personally, I don't care as much about lip-synch, as I do about seeing Michael perform, dance, interact/connect with the audience, etc. and give us all of himself...his work and his love.
IF it happened, I doubt it would be a theatre release.....it would probably go to netflix, as has been suggested.
I disagree....big time. Michael cared about the tour and he put his heart and soul into it, as he did with all of his concert tours. I think his fans should, at the very least, honour it and value it, purely because it IS a part of HIS story....despite what their own personal (nit-picking) problems are, with it. It was Michael's last big world tour and whether it was perfect or not, in the eyes of some fans, doesn't matter, in my opinion. It's a time capsule....it's a part of who Michael was and how he was at the time. He was almost forty....I, for one, did not expect him to be the same as he was, in his late twenties/early thirties.
Also, just because Germany was mentioned, it doesn't mean that a possible concert release will be the one from Munich. As we all know, he performed in Bremen, Cologne, Kiel and Gelsenkirchen....so there are four other possibilities.

This Is It was released in 2009 so many people were interested and it was unseen footage. The HIStory Tour concert they would release is already available. It would be the Munich concert most likely. Some fans might not care about the lip-syncing but the general public would. Reviews wouldn't be nice if they notice it.

I feel like people on here really underestimate how badly lip syncing is looked upon nowadays.
Do you think 'lots of camera angles' is a reason why the general public would be attracted to a concert movie?
It sits uncomfortably with me when you talk about a singer giving their "all' on stage when they're really only pretending. Perhaps you mean all Michael had left.
Are you saying that every other entertainer doesn't do it? Now....in 2018?
I only mentioned camera angles, because it was listed by John Branca as one of the positives. Of course it wouldn't be the reason why an audience would be attracted to a concert movie. The main reason would be Michael.
Sure. Maybe I do mean all he had left. Isn't it sad, though, when fans feel so entitled, that they're not happy with all he had left? Knowing what he had been through, what he was still going through and still had coming, I think we should be grateful that he gave us anything at all. There's a beautiful vulnerability and a two-way gratitude in the HIStory concerts that is palpable and I think it would have been there in TII, as well.
