Michael Jackson's This Is It (commonly known as This Is It) is a 2009 American documentary/concert picture directed by Kenny Ortega and casting Michael Jackson, Kenny Ortega, Orianthi Panagaris. It documents Michael Jackson's rehearsals and preparation for the series of concert of the same name programmed to start on July 13, 2009, but canceled due to his death eighteen days prior on June 25. The film is now the highest grossing concert movie and documentary in the history of movies.

The movie consists of Jackson rehearsing musical numbers and guiding his team, and additional behind the scenes footage including dancer auditions and costume design. Ortega devoted the movie to Jackson's three children. The footage was filmed at both the Staples Center arena and The Forum in Los Angeles, California. In spite of initially being set for October 30, the picture's release date was rescheduled for October 28, 2009 due to a strong demand by Jackson's fans. The picture was given a wide global release and a limited two-week theatrical run from October 28, to November 12, 2009. Tickets went on sale a month early on September 27, 2009, to satisfy a high predictable demand; to date, the film has broken many records via tickets both pre-sale and sales global.

Since the feature film's confirmation, AEG Live has faced criticism; mostly consisting of lies that they had only made the picture to make a gain. Several members of Jackson's family had confirmed that they didn't hold the movie and some family members went as far as to try to stop the movie contract in August. The picture has also been surrounded by many controversies, as well as allegations regarding the look of body doubles in place of Jackson; which Sony denied, and an outrage from Jackson fans; with some going as far as to start a protest against the feature film. On August 10, 2009, a judge approved a deal between Jackson's estate, concert promoter AEG Live, and Sony Pictures. The agreement allowed Sony to edit the hundreds of hours of trial footage needed to create the feature film. Sony subsequently paid $60 million for the picture rights.

The trailer premiered during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009, along with the simultaneous launching of the picture's official website. The feature film was released to mainly positive reviews from both critics and Jackson fans; the picture's portrayal of Jackson and his performances were generally praised, while criticism mainly consisted of both critics and fans having felt that the film was made just to profit off Jackson's death and that Jackson wouldn't have wanted the feature film released because he was a "uncompromising worker". In the picture's opening weekend it grossed over $23 million - in the United States alone - making the picture number one at the box office and making it the fifth maximum-grossing Halloween debut. The movie's global revenue gross was in total $252.4 million during its theatrical run making it the highest grossing documentary or concert picture of all time.

It was released on October 28, 2009. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 80% of 162 critics have given the feature film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.1 out of 10. In the second week, it was out grossed by A Christmas Carol.
