Prince Jackson at Michael premiere

The premiere at the Dolby Theatre was a major family event, despite criticisms of the film from Prince's sister, Paris.

The Antoine Fuqua-directed movie, which hits theaters on April 22, has generated intense interest and early reactions from fans.

Prince, who proposed to Schirmang last August, appeared in good spirits as he supported the project.

The film aims to provide a comprehensive look at the King of Pop's life and legacy, featuring a large cast of family members and industry icons.
