A guaranteed original one sheet movie poster from 2009 for Kenny Ortega's concert documentary "This Is It", starring Michael Jackson.

On 5th March 2009, Michael Jackson announced a series of concerts at London's O2 arena. Originally ten were planned, but due to demand, a further forty dates were added, taking the residency to nearly eight months! 

They have been called "... the greatest concerts that never happened."

Michael Jackson passed away on 25th June 2009. Prior to his death, Jackson had been meticulously preparing for the show, with Ortega acting as the show's choreographer. Footage was being shot to help the show's production. It was never intended to be shown publicly and would have entered Jackson's private archive once the show was complete.

Ortega states that the idea for the film came about from the number of fan requests. The movie opens by stating that it is "For the Fans..."

Film Critic Roger Ebert stated that the film surprised him, showing Jackson as "... a spirit embodied by music..." and that his rehearsal performances were "... something else."

It is the highest-grossing concert documentary film of all time.

This wonderful high gloss movie poster has never been folded and is in fantastic condition. Being double-sided, it is suitable for display in an Art of the Movies Light Box or traditional framing. Either way, it will look incredible framed and on the wall of any MJ fan!

We only sell guaranteed original movie posters. We do not sell reproductions.

Note: This poster is priced unframed. Photos showing framed and 'in room' images are for illustration only. Please check our hi-res images and the sizing information shown above.

Original Poster Buying Guide

Authenticity & Original Posters

Art of the Movies specialises exclusively in authentic original cinema posters issued for theatrical release. These are not modern reproductions or decorative reprints.

Original posters were produced in limited numbers for cinemas to promote films during their initial release. As a result, surviving examples have become highly collectible artefacts of film history.

Each poster offered on this site is an authentic vintage piece created for cinema exhibition and carefully selected for collectors and film enthusiasts.

Condition & Age

Vintage cinema posters were working promotional materials used by theatres and distributors. As such, signs of age and handling are normal and form part of their character.

Condition is carefully assessed for each poster and reflected in the description. Where relevant, notes may include details such as light handling wear, fold lines from original cinema distribution, or minor edge wear.

Any significant restoration or conservation work will always be clearly stated.

Poster Formats & Dimensions

Original cinema posters were produced in a variety of standard formats depending on the country and era of release.

Common formats include UK Quad, US One Sheet and other theatrical display sizes. Exact dimensions for each poster are provided in the product details where relevant.

These historic formats are part of the distinctive character of original film advertising.

Framing Options

Many posters can be supplied professionally framed as an optional extra.

Framing is carried out using archival-quality materials designed to protect and display vintage paper safely. Frames are prepared to complement the artwork while maintaining a clean, gallery-style presentation.

Where framing is available, it can be selected before purchase.

Packaging & Delivery

Posters are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery.

Unframed posters are typically shipped rolled safely packaged within our extra-thick custom-made tubes. Framed pieces are securely boxed using protective materials to minimise movement during transit.

Orders are dispatched with tracking where available.
