Walt Disney’s “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour” will have a theatrical release in digital 3-D.
A 3-D film of the upcoming concert tour will play in theaters in the U.S. and Canada from Feb. 1-7. The film also will open in several international markets in spring 2008, including the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, German-speaking Europe, Latin America and other Asian and European territories.
The film will be shot in 3-D at several venues during the upcoming 54-city tour, which begins tonight (Oct. 18) in St. Louis. It will be directed by Bruce Hendricks and produced by Art Repola from the concert tour created and directed by Kenny Ortega.
“Hannah Montana” is seen on Disney Channels all over the world and on DisneyChannel.com via streaming broadband video. In 2007 to date and for 2006, it was the No. 1 series on basic cable in the U.S. among kids 6-11 and tweens and, across all television, was second only to “American Idol” in those key youth demographics.
In October 2006, the “Hannah Montana” soundtrack became the first TV soundtrack to debut at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and turned Cyrus into a multiplatinum recording artist. Her latest CD, “Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus,” also debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200.
