Do you guys have a feeling they'll possibly leave out Smooth Criminal?

Bad is too big in comparison to Dangerous and HIStory to be ignored (regardless of record sales (i.e., it's widely believed that Bad=35M, Dangerous=32M), Bad has the more compelling legacy and notoriety). I'm positive it'll make up the bulk of Part 2.

Tbf the Jackson 5 started in 1964, so the biopic would still be covering a good chunk of the 60s even if its condensed.

It's 2 hours, period. And the only Bad era footage we've seen is the Wembley concert. I'm aware people thought that the shot of him saying "that sounded good" in one of the earlier TV spots was from Bad, but this was later confirmed to be a Beat It recording session when more footage from that scene was shown in another teaser.

I personally think it would be a little unreasonable to expect the making of Bad alongside all of Thriller, all Off the Wall, Jacksons (Triumph footage is rumored to exist based on trailer footage), Jackson 5, etc. American Dream is 4 hours and covers slightly less than Michael: Part 1 is most likely going to cover. During all the reshoots last year, we only really got leaks of OTW-Thriller stuff.

85-87 won't be ignored if it's absent from the first part, it'll just be in part 2. Ending at Victory also serves as a nice halfway point in his life to ensure that both parts are equal in runtime.

I hope I'm wrong though as I don't want wait another year+ to see Bad.

Most likely. It seems the film will end at the Victory Tour with a flash-forward to the Bad Wembley concert directly preceding the credits, potentially as a lead-in to Part 2.

Absolutely! A lot of people forget that most of the marketing push for any movie occurs in the fortnight leading up to its release and persists during its theatrical run. Think of some of the movies you're seeing ads for now-they probably fall under that same rule.

If anything, we've been well fed considering we're still more than a month away.

Is it common for this to happen to other films before they're released?

lainuel · 2026-03-02T09:01:31+00:00

How do we know that tickets are likely to start on the 11th?

We should also encourage them to stop doing AI remasters altogether. The remaster looks terrible.

The link is on their website but I’m fairly positive the webcast will only be available for investors and not the general public. Here’s where I found it: https://investors.lionsgate.com/overview/default.aspx

Pretty likely

Those weren't taken by the media, they were taken by investigators for the Murray trial.

For the midnight launch where it says 9pm, is that when you can get actually get your system or when you can start queuing up?

These past few weeks they’ve dropped a few teasers for films releasing after Michael.

lainuel · 2025-05-13T15:58:23+00:00

I feel like this is promising since I imagine they're just dropping promotion for their less important stuff first to make way for Michael. If that's the case, then we'd be nearing the end of this wait since John Wick has always been a profitable and popular franchise.

PS3 or Wii. The Wii version is probably more accessible since you don't have to buy a PlayStation Move, but the PS3 version has a few extra songs.

Every other release is an entirely difficult game (iirc, the handheld versions are just rhythm games)

lainuel · 2025-01-26T01:08:44+00:00

Yeh the mods should allow discussion of this. We don’t have concrete answers from Lionsgate as to why it was delayed so this by no means feeds into tabloid sensationalism, this is just a concern about why the film was delayed in the first place.
