Justin Bieber just continues to roll. The teen star’s recent paramount film “Justin Bieber: Never Say Never” surpassed Michael Jackson’s posthumous film “This Is It” over the weekend to become the most successful concert-themed movie at the U.S. box office.
“Never Say Never” grossed $72.2 million through Sunday, topping Sony’s Sony’s “This Is It” which grossed $72.1 million to date.
However, This Is It still holds the worldwide record, having grossed $189.1 million internationally for a global total of $261.2 million, which is a feat because concert films usually perform poorly overseas.
Paramount insiders believe Justin Bieber could ultimately earn $20 million internationally. His current gross is $10.8, which is a solid number in comparison to the Jonas Brothers ($4 million) and Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour ($5 million).

Whether you love him or hate him, there’s no denying that Justin Bieber has achieved something remarkable – topping Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ at the box office. The documentary series Seasons follows the Canadian pop star as he records his fifth studio album and opens up about personal struggles for the first time on camera. Through 10 episodes, viewers get an intimate glimpse into Bieber’s life post-Marriage Bargain fame and have been loving it ever since its release earlier this year.
From chart-topping albums to sold-out stadium tours worldwide, it’s clear why Justin Bieber was able to reach such monumental heights —he knows how to captivate an audience like few others can. With his boyish charm, relatability and undeniable talent, it seems like Bieber will be around for many years to come. Let’s explore what sets him apart from other stars in show business today.
Comparative Performance Of ‘This Is It’
Justin Bieber has topped Michael Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ at the box office. The performance of both blockbuster hits was compared to determine which film earned more money worldwide.
Bieber’s concert documentary, ‘Never Say Never’, grossed over $73 million in its opening weekend alone. This figure is a remarkable achievement for any movie and an even greater accomplishment when considering that it only played in 2,000 theaters across the U.S. On the other hand, Jackson’s ‘This Is It’ opened with just under $60 million domestically but went on to earn over $261 million globally.
The comparative success of these two films reveals how powerful each artist was as a performer and draws attention to their respective fan bases. While Bieber fans were eager to see him perform on screen—and they did show up in droves—it appears that Jackson had an even larger global appeal. His ability to draw audiences from around the world demonstrates his lasting impact on popular culture and music history.
Impact On Music Industry
Not only did Justin Bieber and Michael Jackson’s respective box office performances show their power as performers, but they also demonstrate the importance of both artists on the music industry. Bieber’s success in particular laid the groundwork for a new wave of young stars that have since emerged within the genre. His influence can be seen in the rise of other teen pop acts such as Shawn Mendes and Jonas Brothers who owe much to Bieber’s trailblazing efforts.
On the other hand, it is clear that Jackson was a far more influential figure than just his performance at the box office might suggest. Not only did he help shape modern popular music with iconic hits like ‘Thriller’, but his impact extended well beyond music into fashion and dance trends which still continue today. It could even be argued that some of today’s biggest stars—such as Rihanna or Lady Gaga —have taken inspiration from Jackson’s style and stage presence.
In short, these two blockbuster films reveal how powerful each artist has been throughout history and highlight their lasting legacy on the entertainment world. While ‘Never Say Never’ is an impressive achievement for any movie, it is clear that ‘This Is It’ remains one of the most significant musical events ever captured on film — demonstrating why Michael Jackson will always remain an icon in our culture.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it’s clear that Justin Bieber has made a huge impact on the music industry. His new film ‘This Is It’ topped Michael Jackson’s box office performance and showed how his own success is continuing to grow. While this is certainly impressive for the young star, there are still many questions about what will happen next in his career.
Regardless of where he goes from here, it’s safe to say that Bieber will continue to be an influential figure in the entertainment world. He has managed to captivate audiences with his unique style and sound, and it looks like he’ll keep doing so for some time yet.
As we look ahead at what lies in store for Bieber, one thing is certain: no matter what happens next, he’s sure to make waves in the music industry. From topping the charts to setting records at the box office, Justin Bieber continues to prove himself as a major force within pop culture today.
