Disney's Hannah Montana does well at the SA box office

With attendances reaching just under 94,000 in the opening five-day weekend, Hannah Montana: The Movie achieved a gross box office result of R2.3 million, over achieving against comparative title results.

The film follows the story of Disney Channel's Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) who struggles to juggle school, friends and her secret pop-star persona; when Hannah Montana's soaring popularity threatens to take over her life — she just might let it.
