wow, these are truly beautiful words, I have reached a new level of hype ngl...
I trust Questlove's judgement and I'm very happy how he talks about "Michael" not only as a film but as something bigger and beyond.
MJ is about to unite the world once more

Have a good movie night !!!
The moment we waited for 3 years has finally come and I'm semi excited to see the movie tomorrow
 
Hollywood Reporter has done a roundup of reactions and most of them are positive

Still expecting the usual journalist BS but the audience will love the film by most accounts. Just like MJ this is for the people not the miserable media still crying they can't control this narrative

Haha you should write sceenplays!

No seriously, movies are about storytelling. The part of MJ rising to the top despite struggles is a very good starting point; 'the American dream', The second part is way more difficult, and more interesting in filmmaking terms; since it isn't a rise to the top but quite the opposite
 
These photos are so bittersweet to look at .Michael should be there.. 💔

Latoya looks like a queen. 💃 ❤️‍🔥

The old rant Paris about the biopic with subtitles. When people have seen the movie, what lies is she talking about?

I have said it before and I will say it again - I do feel offended by what Paris is saying as she is literally making fun of her father's fans.

That being said, I do feel she has delusional tendencies. She resents financial motives of the movie, yet she fails to realize that she was born in a super duper privileged family and that does not come from not having financial motives. Of course she can go on pretending financial motives do not matter as she does not have to do anything at all and she will always be taken care of.

Moreover, blabbering like this, I am almost certain that her relationship with Prince and Biggi is not at the best of terms.
 
There are always creative liberties when it comes to biopics and also to book adaptations. They can't fit everything in the movie so they have to make a choice on what to include or not. Let's not forget that Paris was very close to her father...
 
Let s use this topic for box-office forecasts and actual numbers.

The movie is projected at a 3-days opening weekend in the US in the range of 70-90 millions $. I think It will get above the 100 millions $ mark though, with 250 millions Worldwide.
Pre-sales in China already account for 590k $, better numbers than JW Rebirth ( which eventually did 80 millions $).

The movie is going to be released tomorrow in France, where I think It could top the 5 millions tickets sold. MJ is even bigger in the UK.

I want to believe it will top the billion $ mark in the end of its run.
The sequel needs 700 millions to be secured.

Let's go !
