- More Michael Jackson
Fans of Michael Jackson flocked to get tickets to the This Is It movie after they went on sale this weekend.
Tickets for all advance screenings sold out in just two hours in Los Angeles on Sunday.
Fans had queued across the city for three days in a bid to get their hands on just 3,000 tickets.
Directed by choreographer Kenny Ortega, This Is It has been created from over 100 hours of behind-the-scenes footage of Jackson as he rehearsed for his planned London comeback shows.
The movie is due to go on general release for two weeks from October 28, following a worldwide premiere on October 27.
Jackson died on June 25 - just two weeks before his comeback was due to begin.
As previously reported on Gigwise, a new Michael Jackson song, entitled 'This Is It', is to be released on October 12.
The single, which includes vocals from Jackson's brothers, will also feature on an two-disc album of the same name, which is due out on October 28.
