Last week, Michael Jackson’s documentary, This Is It, debuted in theaters across the globe.

And while its been months since MJ’s untimely passing, it seems as though he is more popular than ever.

The film grossed 20.7 million over Halloween weekend, but numbers were lower than what Sony anticipated. However, the film still took the number one spot.

In addition, the two week screening of the movie has been extended to Thanksgiving weekend.

The Chairman of Sony Pictures, Jeff Blake, states,

“In just 5 days, Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT has become the highest grossing concert film of all time and we are elated by the response to this special film by fans, critics and moviegoers from all over the world. With this kind of global response, it’s clear that the motion picture deserves an extended run and we are going to do everything we can to make the film available to everyone who wants to see Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT on the big screen.”

This news is music to MJ fans ears….

So if you haven’t seen the film, be sure to check it out..

The longest-running children’s program on US television, Sesame Street, celebrates its 40th anniversary next week and the tributes to this influential kids’ show have begun to spring up.  Just today, Google.com altered its logo to include a pair of orange legs with yellow feathers where the “L” usually is.  Yep, it’s Big Bird’s bottom half on the search engine’s homepage and we can’t wait to see what other websites and Sesame Street fans have in store to celebrate the benchmark.  The actual anniversary will be on November 10th, so there’s still enough time to pick up a costume of Ernie, Elmo, Cookie Monster, Abby Cadabby, or Kermit the Frog and relive four decades of fun, eductional lessons from public television.  Dressing as your favorite Sesame Street character is a great way to honor a show that has helped shape many of us through childhood.  Here’s to another 40 years from Big Bird and co.!

The excitement is building around Disney’s newest animated film The Princess and The Frog well in advance of its December 11 release date.  Directed by the team who also brought us the classics The Little Mermaid and Aladdin, Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter delivered a video message this week touting the movie’s return to a glorious 2D style of animation.  We’re always fans of the unforgettable characters Disney comes up with, but the New Orleans setting for the story really gets us giddy when we think of all the costume possibilities.  So now it’s not just Princess Tiana herself or a Frog Suit that costumers are limited to when celebrating this new motion picture.  In fact, anything Princess and everything N’awlins is fair game including Mardi Gras outfits, ’20s Flapper dresses and glamorous Southern Belle gowns.  The Princess and The Frog is sure to be a big hit at the box office; help spread the word this Halloween with any of the costume ideas above!
