Michael Jackson continues to bring in fans even after his death.
See photos from This Is It
Late-night screenings of Michael Jackson's This Is It have earned $2.2 million at the North America box office, the Associated Press reports.
Based on rehearsal footage shot while Jackson -- who died in June at age 50 -- was preparing for his series of comeback concerts in London, the movie premiered worldwide Tuesday night. Sony, the documentary's distributor, said the opening night numbers were "unprecedented" for a Tuesday in October.

This Is It opened in 99 countries and expanded its release Wednesday. According to the Associated Press, Sony has already determined that Wednesday's box office results are "explosive" and that matinee numbers have doubled those from Tuesday night.

Us Weekly's senior movie editor Bradley Jacobs gave the film four stars, writing that "it's a highly charged, personal and captivating peek at the last few weeks of a man who certainly didn't look close to death."

I saw it today. It was AMAZINGLY AWESOME. It was like you were actually there watching him rehearse and even joke around. At the end, it was sad because it made you realize that his is gone. NO ONE left until the screen was blank. I love you Michael. RIP. -

I saw it on opening night! It was fantastic. When you entered, you got a This Is It lanyard/ID to wear and keep. Human Nature, Beat It & I Just Can't Stop Loving You were amazing performances! Right before the movie, people who dressed like Michael got to karaoke to his music as it pumped through the speakers. Then whole first row of people jumped up and performed a couple of MJ's dance numbers, including Thriller...nice surprise and fun night. The movie was inspiring! Best $10 I've spent in a long time. Go see it. -
