Fans moonwalked to the Century Stadium on Ethan Way for the very first showing of "This is it," Tuesday.
Nearly 100 people wrapped around the theater in anticipation for the never-before-seen footage of Michael Jackson's rehearsals from what would have been his final 50-city tour.
"You will never believe where I am at right now," echoed fans on cellphones as they stood in line. "I am about to see the Michael Jackson movie, it's the last one."
Jackson's music played outside of the theater from the KSFM 102.5 van while fans of all ages sang and danced. As "Thriller" blared, fans teared, demonstrating the enormous impact that the "King of Pop" had on entire communities and generations.
"I got tickets all the sudden and came straight from work and sent out a text message saying the first person to text back gets to come," said Aleena Butler. "I had a lot of texts back."
The documentary consisted of footage captured by a few people who had the privilege of attending Jackson's rehearsals. The footage was never meant to be seen by anyone except Jackson, according to a disclaimer at the beginning of the film.
Touching messages from Jackson's dancers, musicians, composers and directors brought tears to the eyes of the people viewing the home videos.
"You are the reason I'm here," said one of Jackson's 10 handpicked dancers. "You are it, this is it."
"This is it" will be playing at Century Downtown Plaza 7, Century Stadium 14 Sacramento, UA Laguna Village 12, Regal Cinemas Davis Holiday 6, Century Roseville 14, Regal El Dorado Hills Stadium 14, Regal Natomas Marketplace 16, West Wind Sacramento 6 Drive-In, Century Sacramento Greenback 16, State Theatre - Woodland,Century 14 Folsom for two weeks only.
But just as Jackson's farewell concert had done just months ago, his farewell documentary is selling out fast.
