Michael Jackson film to be shown in China


The Michael Jackson concert film This Is it is to be screened in China.

The movie, which is comprised of rehearsal footage from the late King of Pop's scheduled comeback tour, was included as one of the country's last remaining 20 foreign film import entries allotted yearly, The AP reports.

The film was cleared for the October 28 global release date by the Chinese censor board earlier this month. However, Li Chow, the general manager for Sony Pictures Releasing International, has revealed that the scale of This Is It's release is dependent upon how many prints can be issued for the 4,100 theatres in the region before the premiere.

He said: "We'll do as many prints as possible. It depends on the labs."

Sony Music recently announced that a new Jackson single 'This Is It' will be made available on October 12, while a two-disc compilation album of the same name will be released on October 26.
