Fans are bringing the energy—and the dance moves—to theaters during the debut weekend of the new Michael Jackson biopic, but not everyone is thrilled about the unexpected performances.
Videos circulating online show audience members jumping out of their seats to moonwalk and groove to MJ's greatest hits as the film plays. While some applaud the lively spirit, others are frustrated, wishing moviegoers would simply sit back and enjoy the show.
The film, simply titled "Michael," chronicles the King of Pop's rise from his early days with the Jackson 5 to his stratospheric solo career. It concludes at the height of his fame during the 1988 "Bad" tour, stopping short of the child sexual abuse allegations that would later surface.
Despite a stark divide between critics (38% on Rotten Tomatoes) and audiences (97% on the Popcornmeter), the biopic is projected to claim the No. 1 spot at the box office this weekend.
So, are you ready to rock with MJ or wish everyone would beat it? The debate is heating up.
