After only two weeks in theaters, Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert rehearsal documentary has crossed the $200 million threshold worldwide. As Rolling Stone previously reported, Sony purchased the rights to the concert footage for $60 million, and while the company just broke even on their investment in North America, domestically grossing $61 million, internationally This Is It has raked in more than $140 million, Reuters reports.

In Japan This Is It grossed $27 million, and the United Kingdom contributed $14 million to the foreign tally. According to BoxOfficeMojo, This Is It is now the 22nd most successful film worldwide in 2009.

A way will be found to vindicate Michael in time, but it must be remembered that telling the truth is hard to do for some people, especially when they know they would effectively be opening the door to the media’s gaze. I ask all of us now to do stop buying into the thought that we are powerless – and instead, do something very powerful.

An intention has been set in effect. And everyone who wants to, is being asked to ‘Hold The Vision’ of this intention:

‘That the truth of Michael’s integrity and the innocence of his relationships with children will be unequivocally proved and known by all – in our lifetime.’

When you think of Michael, re-affirm that intention in your mind and in your heart. Put all the desire you have for the successful unfolding of this vision into this intention. If the millions who love Michael do this daily, we will do more to affect change than we ever knew possible.

RE: Anonymous

Essentially, you want everyone to overlook the very real possibility that Jackson was a child molester. Denying that this is possible, or more accuratley likely, is perhaps even worse than definitively stating his guilt.

The King Of Pop is the king of the box office too! It’s a shame that people are making so much money off his death though. Everyone should just let him rest in peace.
