High School Musical 3 Is Big Box Office Success
According to reports, the big screen adaptation of Disney’s widely popular TV movie has sold $42 Millon tickets during its first weekend opening day all over North America. At the same time, “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” has grossed $40 Million internationally, making it the most successful world-wide hit since The Dark Knight, which opened in July.
Should one even wonder about its success. The franchise has had two top-rating offerings in the previous years. It also has two top albums and has made huge stars of Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale.
Additionally, according to Business Sheet via Deadline Hollywood:
“HSM3 is a hard film to track because most kids will see it at least 2x this weekend. There are no metrics to a film that has repeat viewing, and kids that have to be accompanied by parents,” one HSM3 insider just emailed me. “Disney internal folks have no idea what to expect because what historical data could be a comparison. Nothing. I have a feeling this weekend will be a game changer…”
High School Musical 3: Senior Year is set in New Mexico and stars Zac Efron as Troy and Vanessa Hudgens as Gabriella. It features their final year and graduating off to college. It has all the basic ingredients teens love to see in the movie. Plus there’s a lot of that singing and dancing, too.
