Final Box Office Tally Rises, LOS ANGELES Nov 3, Michael Jackson concert movie "This Is It" saw opening weekend ticket sales in the US and Canada rise by 9 percent from initial estimates to a total $23.2 million, according to final studio figures on Monday.
The movie has made another $69.5 million internationally since its Wednesday opening, up from an original box office estimate of $68.5 million, film studio Columbia Pictures said.
In total, the movie has made $103.9 million at worldwide box offices, said Columbia Pictures, the Sony Corp division that paid $60 million for the video used in the film.
"This Is It" follows Jackson during his final weeks of rehearsal for a planned series of 50 shows in London.
The concerts were canceled when the "Thriller" singer died on June 25 from an overdose of powerful medication in Los Angeles, and investigators are probing his death.
