Miley Cyrus Promotes Hannah Montana in Utah
Sunday, April 12, 2009Box office returns are coming in better than predicted for “Hannah Montana: The Movie.”
The movie opened Friday to $17.1 million in receipts, according to entertainment business publisher Variety.
It’s doing twice as well, so far, than Miley Cyrus’ concert movie. The expectation was it would not do as well.
CD sales of the soundtrack appeared to bear that out, with the collection falling from No. 2 to No. 5 in the second week of its release.
Miley has put all of her energy into the movie’s promotion, including TV appearances and surprise appearances, a la the Jonas Brothers, at movie openings. She appeared Friday at a movie theater in South Jordan, Utah.
The movie is drawing mixed reviews. Ultimately, the success of a movie can be judged from whether the audience it is intended for enjoys it, and all indications are Miley is appealing to her demographic base.
Miley Cyrus and her character are not particularly appealing to me, but they’re not intended to be. If little girls want to have fun watching a G-rated Disney movie, more power to them.
Miley mania is far from cresting, as singing contestants named in her honor were hosted over the weekend from Victoria, Texas to the island of Malta.
