Holy Hannah! Movie Tickets Sell Out for 3-D Concert

Online ticket sellers are reporting that many of the 684 theaters featuring 3-D screenings of Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert 3D this weekend have already sold out. The concert movie is due to premiere at midnight tonight and is due to be shown for one week only. The Dallas Morning News said that a check of ticket availability in the Dallas-Fort Worth area showed that tickets could be had only in "less desirable show times." Some theaters, it said, were selling them at $15 apiece. The Los Angeles Times reported tickets going for $20 apiece in its part of the world. Reuters said that Fandango.com and MovieTickets.com, the two principal online ticket sellers, were estimating that tickets to the concert movie were accounting for more than three-quarters of their sales. Fandango said that more than 1,000 screenings had been sold out as of Wednesday. Taking note of the number of tickets being sold for morning and afternoon performances on Friday, the Toronto Star commented that it looks as if "many fans are planning to get up early in the morning and play hooky from school to see their hero on the big screen."

She's the female version of Pokemon. Just give it a couple of years until she's a drug addled whore, and everything will go back to the status quo.

[bullets]

This sounds like a scenario in hell .

[amazingfantasy15]

Genius marketing, make movie sought after by limiting the numbers theaters and length of the run

[thejon93]

She is 14, do you really need to be calling her stuff life that?

[turtlefocker]

Yes

[Figs]

I just don't get how she got so big and where she even F'ing came from??

Seriously, this is one of those anomalies. There was no Hannah Montana(lamest name I've heard in a long time lulz), and then out of the blue she appears as this huge pop star.

I'm getting sick of this corporate bull****. She didn't have to work her way up any ladder. She was just HUGE the second she appeared.

It's not like other celebrities where you hear something brief about them starting off and you see more and more of them over time as they get bigger. This was just instantly in your face like they faked and commercialized her fanbase to actually get a fanbase.

[Catman]

HaHaHa! Pokemon. I loved that of all the examples you could have used you went with Pokemon. :woot:

[thejon93]

She is 14, do you really need to be calling her stuff life that?
No but that's like totally sick what you did to my post though:woot:
I know it's not so pleasant to be saying something like that but I'm just sick of seeing these guys being spoon-fed all of the time. I could care less about the girl's age(because I'm fifteen so there's not much difference), Hillary Duff made a train-wreck of herself and I can see it coming for this young lady in the nearby future.

That's a nice "snap judgment" way of looking at it, ignoring what happenes when these girl gets older. How popular was Shirley Temple after fuzz started growin on her peach. Stop complaining about these kid stars as if they're going to have the same level of popularity in the next two to five years. When that time comes, she'll either fade into obscurity, or she'll have to work her ever-lovin' ass off to be taken seriously as any kind of performer. She can't be Hannah Montana forever.

And why do you care? By your own admission, you haven't even been exposed to her enough to be frustrated by her popularity, so quit yer' b****in'.

[LexCorp]

Little girls are morons.

But they grow up soon so it will be OK.

LOL, didn't know you were such a big fan of hers. I can tell I got your super sensitive ass in a fit. :oldrazz:

As for 'haven't even been exposed to her enough', um yeah I have. Can't really watch TV or go anywhere without seeing stupid ads for her. Just like any other commerical forced pop star.

[batboy99]

My sister is going to this with my mom,neighbour, and her daughtr(my sisters 4 and my neighbours daughter is 5). Thank god i dont have to go

Kid TV shows become hits over night. Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, Pokemon, etc...all over night success. The difference is that those were JUST tv shows. Hannah Montana is a musical act as well. Kinda reminds me of a certain `70s tv show...

It's the same old thing, just like New Kids on the Block, the '90s boy bands, Britney, Christina, the Spice Girls and countless others before, some stupid pop star for preteen girls to obsess over for a year or two, then just as soon as they became popular they'll have vanished, same thing will happen with Hannah. Hopefully she won't end up like Britney and stay in the spotlight for all her bad decisions. Can't blame Disney or Nickalodeon though, girl basically prints money for them, gotta exploit as much as possible before this batch of preteen girls grows up and regrets being obsessed with her.

Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers and Pokemon weren't just TV shows, they were also very sucessful franchises just like Hannah Montana. It's just a difference between boys interests and girls interests, girls like the music stuff like Hannah Montana, boys like the stuff that comes with a toy and video game franchise, same basic premise. just tweaked in different ways for boys and girls.

Yes, what a great start for 2008

Blame Cloverfield. Opened at #1 with record number and its second week went to #4. Got beat by Spartans, Rambo, and 27 Dresses. :dry:

[dogwonder78]

Apparently, due to such high ticket sales they are extending this in the theaters and it won;t just be showing for a week. I read the reviews online and they were actually pretty favorable. That Disney...Hilary Duff now Miley Cyrus..ha.

[Denny67]

The irony of this thread LOL.

[Booznian]

Everyone needs to relax. Just because she's succesful at 15 doesn't mean you guys can automatically assume that she will become a Paris, Brittany or Lindsay. I really hope she becomes more succesful, and can set an example for this generations girls. I'm 15 btw, and my girlfriend actually doesn't mind her, I don't either.

[Nivek]

Well, guys have Cloverfield and Rambo.

[PyroChamber]

That's The Family Channel for ya, always spawning talent who need to be spoon-fed their way to the top(modern versions of Paris Hilton if you ask me).It's the Disney Channel actually, which in itself isn't really a surprise. Pretty much everything that comes on the Disney Channel becomes a big hit no matter how dumb it is, look at Hgh School Musical. And like I've said in another thread, Disney mostly targets girls anyway, which is why a majority of their shows are about girls.

Also, girls liked the Monkees; yet the guys in the group hated that.

You see it all starts when they hit 18... then the innocence goes away and they are like "alright... I'm an adult... and I am a rich ass b****". And then everything goes BOOM... if you know what I mean.

[FaT_tONle]

Hillary Duff made a train-wreck of herself and I can see it coming for this young lady in the nearby future.

Btw... how's Duffy these days?

[Mr. Socko]

Montana is the Lizzie Maguire of this generation for pre-teens. She's selling tickets and girls like her, so what? I don't get the pitch fork rioters here. Unless the product is absolute garbage that I loathe(such as Meet the Spartans) I really don't complain about these things. Let her enjoy her time to shine, she may not be as far 5 years from now.

[Darkness Falls]

Btw... how's Duffy these days?

last i heard she was doin really well

and as far as Hannah montana goes
she is the lizzie mcguire of the present
her career will advance like ms duffs

then someone else will come forward

Circle of life type thing

[FaT_tONle]

Circle of life type thing

Now I got compelled to DL the Lion King soundtrack... thanks a lot... might as well listen to my first Hanah Montana song while I am at it... o wait... I did that when I saw this thread yesterday... phew...

[FaT_tONle]

Well... I just did what I said above... and I could have swore Elton John sounded better when the movie first came out...

[Alex The Great]

:cmad: :cmad: hannah is teh sux. WHY WON'T LITTLE GIRLS GET THAT?!?!?!?! :cmad: :cmad:

[SuperFerret]

:cmad: :cmad: hannah is teh sux. WHY WON'T LITTLE GIRLS GET THAT?!?!?!?! :cmad: :cmad:

Because they're LITTLE GIRLS, and their tastes are likely vastly different from yours, seeing as you're (I'm assuming) not a little girl.

:whatever:

Why is anyone surprised by this?

[The Professor]

Hannah isn't THAT bad. It reminds me of some of the random pop songs of the 90's. At least she's not off getting pregnant.

[Darkness Falls]

:cmad: :cmad: hannah is teh sux. WHY WON'T LITTLE GIRLS GET THAT?!?!?!?! :cmad: :cmad:

agreed

[Lazlo Panaflex]

It's these same snotty kids that made the Harry Potter franchise a hit, why?! I don't know.

[Timstuff]

The target demographic reaction to this movie is proof that there is no hope for this generation's tweenage girls growing up to be normal, mentally healthy women.

[Catman]

Montana is the Lizzie Maguire of this generation for pre-teens.

Lizzie Maguire isn't even that old. :huh:

[Timstuff]

Yeah, but the tweens that made Lizzie Maguire popular are all starting college now. In a couple years, there will be tweens who don't even know what Lizzie Maguire was. Disney Channel is a revolving door of tween starlets. They come off of an assembly line somewhere I think, being made by starving illegal immigrants wearing Mickey Mouse hats while a bloodstained ghost of Walt Disney supervises, whip in hand, from atop a giant scorpion who has a Donald Duck voice.

[Drizzle]

It's these same snotty kids that made the Harry Potter franchise a hit, why?! I don't know.
Harry Potter is actually good. And it inspires kids to read, unlike Hannah Montana, which doesn't teach kids jack****.
Lizzie Maguire isn't even that old. :huh:
Lizzie McGuire ended, what, five-six years ago? That's enough for a slight generation gap. The girls who were 8-12 then are now going into high school/high school graduates. So there is a difference.

[Shawshank]

We set Disney Studios on fire and then burn the ashes!

[Drizzle]

Screw that. I say we reanimate Disney's corpse so he can ***** slap all of the studio execs there.

[Shawshank]

Screw that. I say we reanimate Disney's corpse so he can ***** slap all of the studio execs there.DEAL!

[The Professor]

Disney's really not as bad as people make it out to be.

Some of their live action shows actual have some wit and humor to them.

It's better than some of crap flash-animated cartoons that Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network manage to pump out.

We aren't the demographic for Hannah Montana, and is it really corrupting our youth? I liked anime when I was younger, does that mean I'm going to spend my time trying to shoot energy out of my hands and find a machine that will allow me to train 300x Earth's normal gravity? No. I used to watch wrestling a lot when I was a kid. Does that mean I'm obsessed with violence? No. What we watch as kids doesn't corrupt us, it's the inability to break away from it and the ability to tell between fantasy and reality. That's a job for the children and their parents.

Sorry for that rant. Derp.

[fu manchu]

no, i think the Cloverfield is the year's first hit. It has made over 70 million so far. and i think it'll hit or be close to 100 million (domestic) at the end of its theatrical run.

Although, I'm slightly surprised by the box office numbers of this movie.

[JaD]

Genius marketing, make movie sought after by limiting the numbers theaters and length of the run

its brilliant!

[Catman]

Yeah, but the tweens that made Lizzie Maguire popular are all starting college now.

wow. time flies. :csad:

Lizzie McGuire ended, what, five-six years ago?

According to IMDb, Lizzie McGuire was in production from 2001-2004. It premiered 7 years ago, but ended like 3 or 4 years ago. Like I said...the show ain't that old. Spongebob is older and the show is still relevant and popular. Then again...Spongebob hasn't officially ended yet. They stopped regular production before the movie but still produce some episodes here and there.

EDIT:

You know whats funny? That despite the success Disney has had lately with Cheetah Girls, HS Musical, Hannah Montana, etc the top rated children's show for the past 9 years has been Spongebob. If you look at the daily/weekly ratings Spongebob is usually #1.

no, i think the Cloverfield is the year's first hit. It has made over 70 million so far. and i think it'll hit or be close to 100 million (domestic) at the end of its theatrical run.

Cloverfield was SUPPOSED to be the years first hit, but bad word of mouth has ruined that. The movie debut at #1 with record numbers but in its SECOND week dropped to #4. It got beat by Meet The Spartans, Rambo, and 27 Dresses.

[JustABill]

Bad word of mouth? o_O

[Catman]

Bad word of mouth? o_O

Cloverfield literally went from #1 to #4 to #9 in a span of three weeks.

[Cadetak]

The kids of today sicken me. I'm twenty so I'm young but I still remember the days of old when kids use to be a lot cooler.

I work at a movie and every time one of these disney channel or cgi pixar type movies come out I always ask the eight year old boys why they are watching Alvin and the Chipmunks when they could be sneaking into Rambo.

Back in the day you wouldn't catch me or any of my friends in Alvin, bee Movie, or any of the crap. We watched the Lion King and beat the crap out of each other with plastic lightsabers and throwing Transformers at eachother.

I don't know remember what little girls did back then but boys use to be a lot less...lame.

[Immortalfire]

Because they're LITTLE GIRLS, and their tastes are likely vastly different from yours, seeing as you're (I'm assuming) not a little girl.

Sometimes we wonder.

[terry78]

All the straight men that complain about this secretly love the show. That's right, like the homophobes who are secretly gay. :o If this **** is bugging you THAT much there is something else going on with your ass.

[Rac]

but wait...boys like music too. :huh: Kinda reminds me of a certain `60s tv show...

But give them a history or geography book and they freak out.

[the a1ant]

There's nothing wrong with Hannah Montana. I can't stand her music, but her show is not that bad. I can see why kids love her, lol.

[danoyse]

There's nothing wrong with Hannah Montana. I can't stand her music, but her show is not that bad. I can see why kids love her, lol.

Amen. I've only see the show once with my friend's kids, and couldn't really see what the fuss was all about. Then again, I realize that I'm an adult, and that I liked a lot of silly stuff on TV when I was a kid too.

All of my friends kids love Hannah Montana...and HSM, and they're totally harmless and they're so excited to see the movies. No one's forcing you to see it, so what's so terrible about leaving them alone to enjoy their movies? It's not the end of civilization.

Compared to the movies some adults actually pay to see, I think the kids are even smarter than we are sometimes.

[Dodger]

Does anyone else think that it was really stupid that this concert was called "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus?" It's like Disney is trying to brainwash kids into thinking that Hannah Montana is a real person or something dumb like that.

[Catman]

Kids aren't dumb. Hannah Montana is the character. Miley Cyrus is the actress. In her concert she performs as the character and as herself.

[DieSmiling]

Does anyone else think that it was really stupid that this concert was called "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus?" It's like Disney is trying to brainwash kids into thinking that Hannah Montana is a real person or something dumb like that.

The whole point of the show is that she's essentially playing herself, a young pop star performing under the name "Hannah Montana." Kids get it.

I don't understand the outrage -- there's a reason the show is popular, it's well done for a kids show. Plus, Disney channel produces the hot stars of tomorrow. Give Miley another year or two and she'll be hot as hell.

[danoyse]

Exactly. The whole premise of the show (and I can't believe I know this) is that Miley is a high school student who's also a pop star called Hannah Montana, but she keeps it a secret from the other kids. It's sort of like her secret identity.

[YsoSerious]

Who gives a rat's a** about Hannah Montana? In fact, why am I even posting on the subject?

[StorminNorman]

You like the idea of:

Post Count + 1 ?

[Mee]

You get the BEEEEEST of both worlds
Chillin out take it SLOW
Then we rock out the SHOW
You get the BEEEEEST of both worlds

While we're on the subject I don't see what all the Hanna Montana complain is about. Our shows weren't that great either. Example:

VZoYEVAOsgw

[terry78]

We're all victims of the nostalgia monster. None of our 1980's entertainment was that well done, with the exception of a few.

[TheVileOne]

I think it's just snobbery really. Not that I'm a Hannah Montana fan. But some schmucks for example can't accept that I like Avatar better than Evangelion. And Avatar despite being a Nickelodeon cartoon IS a great show. Kids should totally be watching it.

I hope though that Miley Cyrus's parents though protect her unlike Britney Spears.
