Perez Hilton “Bad” At Michael Jackson Predictions

Truth rating: 0

The self-professed “Queen of All Media” thinks the King of Pop has lost his throne.

Perez Hilton‘s bizarre insistence that Michael Jackson‘s concert rehearsal film “This Is It” is a box office failure continues today, even as evidence mounts to the contrary.

Last week Perez reported in the same breath that the favorably reviewed doc’s $7.4 million domestic take on Wednesday, “while impressive for any other release,” was somehow “disappointing” given Sony’s high expectations.

Not satisfied, the next day Perez trumpeted a decline in sales on Thursday and said, “Looks like Paranormal Activity may just be #1 again this week!”

Well, not only was he wrong and “This Is It” is #1 at the box office, it also raked in more than $101 million worldwide in the first five days of its release. Sony is extending its run. An industry analyst said Sony “bet $60 million on this and got $101 million in just five days. It was a gamble and a bet that paid off.”

Perez’s prediction, meanwhile, fell flat. But rather than admit he was wrong or quietly leave the news alone, “Scoop” today branded “This Is It” a “disappointment” (again) and proclaims Sony “way off the mark when calculating the public interest.”

If it’s such a failure, then why is it #1 and its run being extended?

    Sad to say–the only “disappointment” here is Perez and his brainless, inaccurate comments. Why follow the rantings of a delusional wing nut–when all he does is lie or just make things up.
