The film is poised to debut at no. 1 this weekend with over $20+ million in less than 700 theaters (thanks in part to mandatory $15 ticket prices for all shows). So, is this the first concert film in 3-D to ever take the top spot? :D Heck, when was the last time a concert film or a 3-D film was no. 1?

EDIT: Answering my own question, SPY KIDS 3-D opened at no. 1 in 2003.

Is this a first time something gets released for one week only? Tickets for her tour were the hottest thing on the planet. Has a 15 year old ever generated this much income?

Ask Gary Glitter.

According to Box Office Guru: "Hannah Montana set a number of new box office milestones although asterisks will need to be added to the record books since it had the advantage of the higher-priced tickets. It was the largest opening ever over Super Bowl weekend beating the $21.6M of 2006's horror entry When a Stranger Calls, and the largest overall weekend gross over this frame surpassing Titanic which banked $25.2M in 1998 in its sixth weekend. Hannah also set the record for the smallest amount of theaters for a film debuting at number one.
Due to the incredible demand, the studio has now announced that [Hannah Montana] will be open-ended and will play beyond the initial seven-day run."

This is like the when the Schick-Sun documentaries of the 70s and 80s (BEYOND AND BACK, IN SEARCH OF HISTORIC JESUS, etc.) would be announced as "One Week Only" and then be announced as "Held Over."

Well, my wife, our three kids, my sister-in-law and their three kids went yesterday morning to a sold out show. They all loved it. They, like most it seems, ordered their tickets on-line and showed up 45 minutes early.

I heard on the radio this morning that tickets for HANNAH (my daughter's favorite palindrome; my son's in "race car") represented 91% of all tickets sold on-line. Pretty ridiculous.
