Bieber movie outsells Jacko film in US
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 March 2011
Well, Justin Bieber said he wanted a career similar to that of Michael Jackson, though whether that means he wants to die prematurely and have a pop upstart outsell his movie I know not. Actually I do know. He didn’t.
But Bieber’s ‘Never Say Never’ movie has outsold Jackson’s posthumous ‘This Is It’ flick in the US, bringing in $72.2 million already in the States, compared to the $72.1 million the 2009 Jackson no-concert film made. Though the good news for the Jackson estate, is that ‘This Is It’ was much, much, much more successful globally than Justin’s movie, it bringing in $189.1 million around the world, compared to the $10.8 million in international revenues generated by ‘Never Say Never’ so far.
