It’s now time for the entertainment industry to take notice: a 15-year-old girl has officially become the hottest thing thing around. Miley Cyrus already had a hit TV series (Hannah Montana) and a sold-out concert tour, but now she has a record-breaking movie as well.
The limited run of her 3-D film, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, made waves on what is usually considered a slow weekend for movies. (Audiences are usually plopped in front of the TV watching the Super Bowl.) The pic earned over $31 million, surpassing the total set by 1998’s Titanic during the same football weekend. (That weeper grossed $25.2 million.) Miley also rocked a stellar $45,560 per screen average. In comparison, this week’s #2 (The Eye), earned $40,000 less per theater. Fortunately, those unable to snag a Montana ticket now have their chance. The wildly successful film has been extended indefinitely.

More Ticket Troubles with Hannah Montana
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Disney, Music, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
The concert everyone wanted to see will soon become the movie fans will be forced to miss. Miley Cyrus, star of Hannah Montana and big-selling concert songstress, will soon be on the big screen. The Montana movie comes out February 1, but it’s only scheduled to run for a single week. Tickets have been on sale since December 1, and already fans are treating them like pieces of the true cross. Tickets are selling (and selling out) online and at box offices.
The movie, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, will feature clips of Miley’s nationwide tour that caused a summer sensation. Meanwhile, Disney has offered no information as to whether the movie will also be released on DVD.
Independent films and other genre films are often released for only one week, and some say such a short release time helps the market from becoming oversaturated. Hannah Montana? Oversaturated? That ship has sailed.
