In a year when movies can’t seem to hold on to the top spot for more than one week, we’ve got yet another brand-new box office champion. This time, it’s the 3-D film Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert, which pulled preteen girls (and their parents) to the tune of $29 million. That number gave the film the distinction of having the best debut ever for a Super Bowl weekend, and proves that Miley Cyrus is indeed a top draw, whether on television, in concert, or at the movies.
The Eye, a new horror film starring Jessica Alba, finished a distant second with $13 million in ticket sales.
Meanwhile, last week’s box office champ Meet the Spartans slipped all the way down to fifth place with a meager $7.1 million in earnings.
Here’s the complete top 10 — and you’ll notice that Eva Longoria’s new comedy Over Her Dead Body is nowhere to be found. It finished in 11th place with a disappointing $4.6 million take.
