Hanna Montana, the Movie a big seller online

By Steve Pounds | Tuesday, February 5, 2008, 04:10 PM

Bless the Hanna Montana money machine.

The teenage starlet who has every middle-schooler ga-ga over her show and her concerts is raking in a fortune for Disney. But she’s also doing her part for a small Boca Raton company, Hollywood Media Corp.

Hollywood Media is part owner of the Movietickets.com web site, and last weekend when the 3D blockbuster, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, the ticket site sold $8 million in advance sales.

The online sales represent about 28 percent of the concert movie’s opening-weekend box office total.

The movie ranks 17th on movietickets.com’s best-selling list. With this kid’s popularity (link), she might unseat Star Wars, Episode 3, the Revenge of Sith, for number 1 all time?

Here’s a concert video of Hannah/Miley from YouTube:
