Justin Bieber is a happy teen tonight. His Justin Bieber: Never Say Never film has now become the most successful concert-themed movie, surpassing Michael Jackson’s This Is It.

Never Say Never has earned $72.2 million at the domestic box ticket sales office through Sunday March 20. This Is It grossed $72.1 million domestically.

This Is It did much better worldwide, grossing $189.1 million overseas, totaling $261.2 million when added to US sales.

Never Say Never has only grossed $10.8 million at the international box office in comparison, but Paramount believes the movie could eventually earn $20 million internationally. Where has the movie done best overseas? Latin America, where Bieber has the strongest fan base.

How does Bieber feel about beating the great MJ in US sales? He Tweeted today:

“INSANE!! MJ is still the greatest and my hero but We are so proud of this and so grateful to the fans for making NEVER SAY NEVER 3D the highest grossing concert doc of ALL TIME!! THANK YOU!!! NEVER SAY NEVER!”
