This Is It? Hardly. 

Sony announced today the Michael Jackson concert movie, originally billed as a two-week-only event, will stay in theaters through Thanksgiving weekend.

The un-surprise move comes after This Is It led the box-office competition with an estimated $21.3 million Friday-Sunday, and upped its five-day worldwide haul to $101 million.

Stay tuned for the complete weekend standings—and the reason why Miley Cryus is the anti-Jackson, and vice versa.
