Hannah Montana Movie Success Prompts Another Movie?

The astounding success of the “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds” live concert 3D movie at the box-office this past weekend has studio execs scrambling put another cash-cow film project in theaters this year.

Having debuted at the box-office at #1 with a $29 million dollar gross on only 683 screens (a number #1 box-office victory is usually on approximately 7,000 screens), studio heads are eager to milk the Montana/Cyrus phenomenon and a movie version of the popular Disney Channel show is in the works, according to reports yesterday.

Apparently a script has already been greenlit and the film is set to start shooting this summer, but there’s no details on the exact plot [ed. do these films need/utilize plot?]. Another mammoth Disney Project,”High School Musical 3,” is expected to be heading into theaters next year.
