As the masses rush to catch a final glimpse of the King of Pop in THIS IS IT, fans can take home a special piece of MJ this weekend. In conjunction with the national release of Michael Jackson’s documentary, moviegoers will receive a certificate for the Officially Licensed and Jackson Estate Approved MJ Commemorative Coin.

This exclusive campaign, giving fans a chance to honor the pop icon, launches at theatres in the Top 9 U.S. Markets* starting this Friday, October 30th at all THIS IS IT showings and runs through December.
