I made this thread to see if any of these shows are actually been seen by many. They are often pretty local and only for a select crowd. I for one have never seen a musical in my entire life. So while these projects have mostly been big successes in their area perhaps most people have no knowledge of them.

Same for that MJ dancing video game. I don't play games so while it is fun it exists I cannot enjoy it and many of the older generation fans probably don't play games either.

I don't really pay attention to the Estate, tbh.

I saw TII 25x in the cinema. Can I vote for it 25x? :ROFLMAO:

25 times! Wow I watched it just 3 times in total. Once in cinema and twice on tv. Maybe there should be a ranking of that as well, anyone capable of beating zinnia's record score? lol

oh god, I was joking! I mean, I did see it 25x in the cinema plus another 5x on tv over the next 2 / 3 years. I wasn't exaggerating about that. But I'm obvs not gonna vote 25x in your poll.

Also, you didn't watch it many times but you have serious reservations about it whereas I just fell for it like a ton of bricks. It ran in the cinema for a month, IIRC. If it had played for longer I would have gone to see it loads more. :D

Just a month? No wonder its box office numbers were on the lowish side.
 
f&m, I don't know if the following are relevant to your thread or fit your criteria but thought I'd flag them up just in case:

1 - Ghosts / 2017 / apparently screened in 6 cinemas around the world

2 - On The Wall exhibition / launched at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 2018. Moved on to Paris, 2019. Then to Bonn, Germany, 2019. Final destination Espoo, Finland, 2019 - 2020.

3 - Thriller 3D / IMAX / 2018 / I think this was screened for one week only but was shown quite widely across USA and Canada. Also shown in the UK plus various countries in the Middle East (Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait etc). Also shown widely in Mexico.

Ok, thanks for the info @zinniabooklover
Perhaps a bit too minor to include but apart from thriller 3D it was new to me 🙂

Ouch!

Man, that's harsh. :ROFLMAO:

OK, I'll give you the Thriller 3D (why only one week? such a weird decision) and Ghosts but I can't label the exhibition as 'minor'. Just to be clear, I'm not having a go at you and I'm certainly not trying to change what you include in your poll - it's your thread, lol - but the exhibition was definitely more than just a minor project, imo.

Still, it got me thinking ...
 
@zinniabooklover
Ok I added them, I felt very bad after reading your response and had to rectify it :p It was not very subtle or nice of me...

I also fucked up the poll in the process and can't change it anymore lol. I tried to copy past your entries but it only did so partially :poop:

oh gawd ...

No, f&m, I didn't want you to change your poll. It's your thread, your poll.

I only remember those 4, if I missed something let me know.

You didn't specify if it should be 'big' events or 'minor' ones. Just whatever you had forgotten about. I mentioned the ones I vaguely remembered.
I agree with you, Thriller 3D and Ghosts could def be classed as 'minor' projects. I disagree with you on the exhibition - to me it def qualifies as a major event - but not as in, you now MUST include it in your poll.

I'm really glad you got me thinking about all of this, tho'. Like, screening Ghosts in just 6 cinemas. So weird. Is it worth the effort? Screening Thriller 3D, it seems to have been shown pretty widely but why for only one week? Why not at least one month? Such strange decisions.

I had completely forgotten that the exhibition had to contend with all of the fall-out from the tv programme.

I've been looking at all of the stuff online that I can find about the exhibition, been having a blast digging into it. Currently trying to find footage of the 16 German fans who were filmed singing through the entire Thriller album! That's ... different, lol. It was an artist installation so I know I won't find the whole thing. I was hoping there might be a 90 second snippet on YT, tho'. No luck so far. The artist has a Vimeo channel but I couldn't see it there, either. Although, ngl, I did get bored looking. It was a very uninspiring channel.

Anyway, didn't mean to derail the thread. As you were! :D
