This past weekend, audiences were treated to the debut of CBS special Michael Jackson’s Halloween, an hourlong magical adventure in which the King of Pop comes to life in animated forms including that of a dancing pumpkin, an arachnid security guard and a feline scientist, set to a soundtrack of Jackson’s music.
“Michael's songs are very important to people,” says Mark Dippé, the program’s director. “We just wanted to sort of tell a story that was based around the world that Michael had created with his music, and his dancing, and his performances.”
That level of continued interest is precisely why Jackson tops our Halloween-spooky list of the 13 highest-paid dead celebrities for the fifth year in a row--with earnings of $75 million. His postmortem empire is going strong, boosted by the Halloween special and new album Scream joining a list of ventures including a Cirque du Soleil show in Las Vegas and a stake in the EMI music publishing catalogue.
As for the King of Pop, his 2017 earnings pale in comparison to last year’s $825 million haul—the highest annual total for any entertainer dead or alive—mostly from the sale of his half of the Sony/ATV catalogue. But his $75 million tally this year still places him on par with the seventeenth-best-paid living entertainer, Bruce Springsteen.
Dopo l'exploit dello scorso anno (record assoluto di sempre, tra star vive e defunte, con 825 milioni di $ dovuto alla vendita del catalogo Atv/Sony), per la quinta volta consecutiva Michael Jackson si riconferma l'artista deceduto con il maggior guadagno annuale, pari a 75 milioni di dollari (cifra vicina al miglior guadagno di Bruce Springsteen).
Merito dello Show permanente a Las Vegas del Cirque du Soleil "The One", del "Michael Jackson's Halloween" in onda sulla CBS, della compilation "Scream" ed altro.
