AEG, owners and producers of the upcoming MJ movie, are internally projecting an astounding $250 million 5-day opening for the flick. That’s big. To put that in perspective, IF the movie does perform that well it would out gross Spider Man and Harry Potter 5-day opening weekend numbers. Sony, the studio marketing and distributing the film, is a bit more cautious with these projections and according to sources is a bit worried that they publicity of all the sold out screenings will actually scare off potential movie-goers.

Although the opening day pre-sell tickets have broke Fandango records there still will be plenty of theaters to see it in as theaters will increase screen counts to make up for the demand. And what does AEG have to say about all the pre-success it is enjoying? Well…the CEO of AEG was quoted as saying “He (Michael Jackson) was our partner in life and now he’s our partner in death.” At least it is clear who is making the money off of MJ’s death.

Beyonce x Beyond the Ballad. Never one to shy away from her own accomplishments and find a way to make money off of it, Beyonce will be releasing a 2-Disc DVD documentary about herself called Beyond the Ballad. The documentary will first hit stores in Japan on November 26th and will eventually make its way here to the U.S.

Doc will cover Beyonce’s entire life and gives a unique introspective from her growing up with Destiny’s Child, her single career and even includes exclusive footage of her performance at Obama’s inauguration. It’s basically 118 minutes of Beyonce fun for all you crazy fans out there. And of course…it comes with a nice little soundtrack of her career hits.

Master P x VH1. Master P might have made his millions living his thug life but now that he has “matured” he wants to make sure gang members can get back on the straight and narrow. VH1 will premiere the show “No Excuses” in which Master P helps a former gang member named Torrie from Los Angeles reform his life.

“Torrie won’t step up, get a legitimate job and be a role model for his son as his excuses have held him back” states the VH1 press release. “His complaints of having no money, no car, and no way of getting to job interviews have led girlfriend Keisha to make a desperate plea to Master P for help. Keisha fears that Torrie’s unemployment and lack of motivation will leave them broke and homeless. If Torrie can’t get his act together, Keisha will be through with him for good.”

Show is set to air on October 26th 10:30pm with Master P also taking care of exec producer duties. As of press time there are no plans for “No Excuses” as a regularly scheduled show.

50 Cent’s next album “Before I Self Destruct” has been waiting for a release date for some time now. Finally it hits stores on November 24th with not only the CD and the Before I Self Destruct movie that 50 hyped up so much, but NOW it will also come with another movie! That’s right..a CD and two movies. It has been confirmed that the deluxe edition will contain the Jam Master Jay documentary Two Turntables and a Microphone (trailer).

Artists and labels are doing everything they can nowadays to move units and the big trend for the bigger budget artists is including mini-movies. Snoop will be dropping his Malice in Wonderland with a movie as well. Only SoundScan can tell us though if it’s helping sell though.

Finally the Kanye West endorsed artist will get her album release. You might remember her for her song “Pro Nails” which would explain her funky nails on the album art. Album drops November 17th.

(UPDATE: Trailer back up for now. Watch while you can.) The promo trailer for The Expendables has just been released by Millenium Films. Movie stars a who’s-who of action stars and tough guys including Stallone, Statham, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Coutere and Terry Crews.

Movie is not without its hip-hop ties as 50 Cent allegedly turned down Terry Crew’s role due to scheduling conflicts. Rumor has it though that 50 was actually dropped and replaced by Crews to fit with the tough guy cast. Movie is set to hit theaters August 20, 2010.
