Montana Set to Beat "The Eye"
Hannah Montana or Miley (Ray) Cyrus, depending on which one's on screen, has a chance to blow out the competition at the movie theaters this weekend. According to Entertainment Weekly, Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert has sold $18 million in advance tickets, making this 3-D concert movie the predicted winner for the Super Bowl weekend.
The movie brings together the fictional characters Hannah Montana and Miley Stewart, with Miley Ray Cyrus in concert on the big screen. Hannah Montana, a show that has claimed a large audience of girls between the ages of 7 and 13, has produced a concert tour which sold out in nearly every location and had tickets being scalped for thousands of dollars, and now, with the movie, it looks like it will once again sell out and possibly get some scalpers.
Its competition for the weekend includes the opening of The Eye, a remake of a 2002 Chinese horror film starring Jessica Alba. However, even though Best Of Both Worlds will only be opening in 683 theaters, it should beat The Eye, which is opening in 2,436.
