Justin Bieber Tops Michael Jackson For Box Office Record

Justin Bieber‘s film, Never Say Never, has now earned more than Michael Jackson‘s This Is It, making it the most successful concert movie domestically.

Bieber made Jackson beat it today with a total (so far) of $72.2 million in U.S. tickets sales, compared to the King of Pop’s $72.1 million domestic take.

And Never Say Never has only been out for six weeks.

Bieber, however, will not outpace the nearly $190 million This Is It earned internationally.

What do you think about The Biebs surpassing Jackson in the U.S.?

    For starters: This Is It is not a concert film. It is a documentary about the behind the scenes process of making a concert. It does not contain a concert (how could it, the man died).

    Never Say Never is a concert film as it contains a concert. As such it’s not really a fair assessment. Obviously Gossip Cop is not the one who defined the record but it’s still a bit of an unfair statement (though I understand what they’re getting at).

    Secondly: This Is It was a limited run (though it was extended several times). The article does not note this. Also Never Say Never is being RE-EDITED and RE-RELEASED. This is going to give it a much higher box-office take as well.

    Finally: talk about an inaccurate headline. You’re article even concludes “Bieber, however, will not outpace the nearly $190 million This Is It earned internationally.”. So it SHOULD read Justin Bieber Tops Michael Jackson For *US* Box Office Record.

    Obviously this is just a Michael jackson fan getting testy. But still. You guys pride yourself on being accurate all the time. Let’s try to continue that trend.

    I appreciate that you are a michael jackson fan and you don’t just jump to conclusions like he bleached his skin because he was ashamed of being african american.
