    Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' Knocked Off Top Of UK Box Office

    Michael Jackson's 'This Is It' has been knocked off the top of the UK box office after just one week.

    The film, which depicts Michael Jackson's rehearsals in his final days, was displaced by Disney's 'A Christmas Carol' starring Jim Carrey as Scrooge.

    Despite falling to number two on the box office, 'This Is It' is still a huge British success raking in over £8million since its release and well over £100million globally.

    The original two-week run was extended until the end of November too with Jeff Blake, chairman of Sony Pictures Worldwide Marketing & Distribution, saying: “With this kind of global response, it’s clear that the motion picture deserves an extended run."

    • I agree, Sara. Michael was amazing and we're very lucky we had the chance to see him in this way.

    • Love you, Michael! Have seen the movie three times and will probably see it a few more. It is amazing. He really was, and will always be, the king!
