Michael Bearden, music director and associate producer of director Kenny Ortega, said making the film was the project more "bittersweet" for his career, but he was happy that "the world will see the triumph" of the deceased musician.

"I know he would have liked," Bearden said. "Kenny Ortega and I had in mind Michael in every aspect of the film. We were with him every day for at least the last three or four months of his life, so we know he would have liked what we did. "

The film opens in 99 countries between Tuesday and Wednesday and then come to a total of 110 nations for the weekend. The distributor Sony, which paid $ 60 million for the rights, will put 15 thousand copies in circulation.

Michael Jackson was constantly adding to the performance, and with the budget already surpassing $24 million, Randy Phillips said, “I was ready to jump off the balcony of my office. We went and met with Michael, and [director] Kenny [Ortega] said, ‘Michael, you’ve got to stop. We’ve got an incredible show, we don’t need any more vignettes.’ Michael said, ‘But Kenny, God channels this through me at night. I can’t sleep because I’m so supercharged.’ Kenny said, ‘But Michael, we have to finish. Can’t God take a vacation?’ Without missing a beat, Michael said, ‘You don’t understand — if I’m not there to receive these ideas, God might give them to Prince.’ ”

Kenny Ortega also mentioned that Michael Jackson greatly admired Prince, who recently spoke about Michael Jackson after a concert at the Gran Palais.
