Looks like the Hannah Montana juggernaut is about to blow the roof of multiplexes nationwide. The "Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Concert" 3D movie is selling out showtimes at a record pace. Fandango.com and movietickets.com report the film accounted for 90 percent of their total sales Wednesday!!
The movie debuts Thursday at midnight on less than a thousand theaters, all equipped to show Digital 3D. Obviously, parents of the movie's target audience -- tween girls -- are bending their curfew rules so their kids can go see it. Not like they really have a choice. Late-night and early morning screenings may be the only chance you have to see it if you haven't bought tickets yet. Most weekend showings are already sold out.
The film was shot during Cyrus' sold-out 2007 concert tour, which caused a ticket-scalping frenzy that rivaled Springsteen & U2.
Disney says the film is only in theaters for a week, but with sales this strong, how can they NOT extend the theatrical run??
