JACKSON FAMILY TO PROFIT FROM THIS IS IT MOVIE
MICHAEL JACKSON's family will benefit from the release of a movie featuring rehearsal footage from the superstar's doomed comeback shows - they're set to net 90 per cent of its profits.
Court documents filed on Friday (31Jul09) and released on Tuesday (04Aug09) show that Columbia Pictures has secured the rights to create a documentary using the clips.
Jackson was filmed during his final practice sessions ahead of his 50-date This Is It residency at London's O2 arena, which was due to kick off last month (Jul09).
The legal papers, obtained by TMZ.com, state that the Jackson estate will get 90 per cent of the film's profits and concert promoters AEG will get the remaining 10 per cent.
Columbia executives reportedly paid $60 million (£40 million) for the rights to the footage.
However, a Los Angeles judge must approve the deal by Monday (10Aug09). A meeting with Jackson's mother Katherine has been scheduled for the same day to see if she has any objections to the proposal.

Is a good idea for jacksons family to benefit 90percent of michaels comeback
which yet to be playd and people using michaels name for buisiness.
Every one using michaels name for buisiness pls always give katherine and
jacksons family the lion share of the profit because of michaels children, any
one who will choose to cheat jacksons family, directly that person has betrayed
God and michael jakson. l use this oportunity to say, we should allow love and
sincerity to flow among us and the children of the world because that is the
only way to success.
the late king of pop has gave us the key to success, when michael was still
alive, he preached about love to the world and he said, love is the key of
success. but no one seems to understand this. pls we should try and learn how
to love and not to learn
to cheat the late king o pop.(ladyeva4real@hotmail.com)
