Cyrus 3D Concert Film Sets Saturday Night Ratings Fever
Disney Channel Premiere Of ‘Both Worlds’ Theatrical Attracts 5.9 Million Viewers

The Miley Cyrus 3D concert theatrical was TV’s biggest show Saturday night.
The debut of Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert in 3D pulled in 5.9 million viewers July 26 from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., according to a Disney ABC Cable Networks Group analysis of Nielsen Media Research live+ same-day data.
The concert event easily topped NBC’s Law & Order: Criminal Intent, which pulled in some 4.8 million watchers from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday night, as the most-watched show in all of television.
The premiere of the Cyrus concert film, which tallied some $65 million at the box office during a limited run this past winter, doubled the total delivery of Disney Channel’s previously highest-rated concert: the Sept. 22, 2006 presentation of the Cheetah Girls show that drew some 2.93 million watchers.
The Cyrus show attracted 2.22 million kids 6 to 11 and 1.79 million tweens 9 to 14. Those figures represented double-digit advances over the year-earlier time period, and represented significant gains from the aforementioned Cheetah Girls concert, which garnered 1.35 million kids 6 to 11 and just over 1 million tweens.
A 2D presentation of the film aired on Sunday, but Nielsen data was not available at press time.
Cyrus had raised eyebrows this spring by appearing in a semi-nude pictorial in Vanity Fair.

Adding in the mention of the vanity fair stuff from months ago was totally pointless...
