Sadly, the promotion is close to nonexistent in Romania as well, despite MJ holding two concerts here. And I know there are many Romanian MJ fans, so I am surprised that the promotion is so limited …hoping things will pick up after the movie starts screening and word of mouth starts doing its magic.
 
Here's an idea: what if they dealt with the 1993 allegations by making a separate short film between Part 1 and Part 2? The short film could be produced solely by Graham King, with no involvement from the estate and Michael's kids. Jaafar is not an heir and he's therefore not bound by the settlement agreement, so they could let Jaafar be in charge of approving the script and making sure the short film is respectful of Michael. They couldn't use any MJ music in it, because that would involve getting rights from the estate, and the estate can't get involved. However, we saw with the "Man In The Mirror" movie that they don't need permission from the estate to use Michael's likeness, because he's a public figure, so there's nothing stopping Graham from making a short film about him and the 1993 allegations without any involvement from the estate. Then they could just release that short film to fill in the blanks before Part 2 of the biopic is released. I wonder if they could perhaps even show the short film in theaters right before Part 2, like the Frozen short film was shown before the Cinderella movie? That's usually handled by studios and distributors (Lionsgate and Universal), so surely they would be able to take that decision without getting the estate involved?

When Part 2 would get to the Dangerous era, they could just vaguely hint at some allegations and show the effect they had on Michael during the Dangerous tour, but without getting into the details of what those allegations are, letting the short film handle that.

At the end of the day, if a simple dentist like Evan Chandler was able to get around the settlement agreement by using his brother Ray, surely all those experienced attorneys working for the estate and Lionsgate can figure out something...

I think they should just address the allegations. Break the settlement and make Jordan Chandler sue, so they can bring everything out in discovery.

Obviously they’d never do that, but…

The problem is that if Jordan wins that lawsuit, then he could stop them from releasing the movie.

Yes, let him sue, and let's get this through with once and for good! 😖

Yeah there has also been some koncerts here in copenhagen, and overall his music is acctually played often in radios i would say, sooo idk why🥴🤷‍♀️ but yeah like you said lets hope the hype gets bigger when the biopic releases✨🤞
 
I haven't seen or heard any promo in my town (northwest Germany) either. Our city has a thriving cultural scene and still quite a few movie theatres, but, nothing ...

Also, I didn't come across much German promo online, only news articles along the lines of" there is a Michael Jackson biopic coming BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ALLEGATIONS?/ THERE ARE NEW ALLEGATIONS"

It's so frustrating.

It's very strange because there was the movie premiere two days ago and no promo in sight? 🧐
Also , the allegation are their breadwinner and it doesn't surprise me but at the same it's very frustrating that they are still fixed on this and not the movie itself

they filmed up to 1993, that was the original movie with 1/3 being about the chandler case and stuff. Everything they filmed Bad tour and later and doesn’t refer to the chandler case can be used. About 70% of that footage can’t be used which means 30% can.
