Monday, February 4th, 2008
The movie debut of teen pop singer and television star Miley Cyrus transformed into box office gold for Walt Disney. The phenom’s first movie is Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert which was filmed last year during her America-wide tour and using 3-D cameras. In the film’s first weekend in theaters the movie earned $29,000,000 and emerged as the number one movie at the box office. Tweens packed sold-out theaters while their parents attended Super Bowl parties or watching the game on Sunday afternoon. Disney had told fans of the star that the 3-D movie would only play in theaters for a limited one week run but the company has now reconsidered their plans in light of the grosses. Now the film will have a longer run in the movie theaters equipped to show the special 3-D picture.
