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. So her father (Billy Ray Cyrus) takes the teen home to Crowley Corners, Tennessee, for a dose of reality, kicking off an adventure filled with the kind of fun, laughter and romance even Hannah Montana couldn't imagine.

Filmed entirely on location in and around Nashville, Tennessee, and Los Angeles, California, Hannah Montana: Th Movie stars Miley Cyrus, Emily Osment, Jason Earles, Mitchel Musso, Moises Arias and Billy Ray Cyrus. Also starring are Melora Hardin, Margo Martindale, Barry Bostwick, Peter Gunn, Lucas Till and Vanessa Williams. Guest stars include Tyra Banks, Taylor Swift and country music trio Rascal Flatts.
