Hannah Montana: The Movie – Miley Cyrus Megahit!

Everything Miley Cyrus touches turns to gold (including Justin Gaston?). The Miley Cyrus starrer, Hannah Montana: The Movie opened to a phenomenal US $34M surpassing estimates that Hannah Montana: The Movie will open in the $20-million range. Miley Cyrus‘ previous feature-film release, ” Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour,” released in early 2008, grossed $70 million worldwide ($65 million in the U.S.). Hannah Montana: The Movie is really just an extension of Hannah Montana, the Disney Channel TV show (but of course), but it proves that Miley Cyrus could pull in the moviegoing public, unlike fellow tweens, the Jonas Brothers recent movie flop. Even the animated feature Bolt, which featured Miley’s voice made more than $200M worldwide.

If you think Miley Cyrus will always be the bubblegum tween and will forever star in senseless abandon, think again. Miley Cyrus will be doing a serious feature film soon tentatively titled , “The Last Song,” written by Nicholas Sparks, who wrote The Notebook, and will be directed by Julie Anne Robinson who currently directs critically acclaimed TV Shows “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Weeds”. Info on IMDB.com says that “The Last Song” will be a drama that is centered on a rebellious young woman sent to spend the summer with her estranged father.
