Tickets for the New Zealand sessions of Michael Jackson's This Is It film are set to go on sale on Sunday, September 27.
The film is released worldwide on October 29 for two weeks.
This Is It is a behind-the-scenes look at Michael Jackson as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concert that would have begun in London's O2 Arena.
Chronicling the months from April through June, 2009, the film is produced with the full support of the estate of Jackson and drawn from more than 100 hours of footage.
The studio behind the film says This Is It will have simultaneous premieres in more than 15 cities around the world.
In all, more than 25 cities worldwide will have premieres for the movie but not all will take place at the same time.
In the days before he died of an overdose of prescription drugs on June 25, Jackson was rehearsing for a comeback with 50 sold-out shows in London.
Based on proceeds from the movie, business deals and album sales that have arisen since Jackson's death, administrators of his estate expect to generate more than $200 million in revenue before the end of the year.
