The Disney Channel will roll the world TV premiere of Walt Disney Pictures’ Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert in 3-D next month.
To support the film’s TV July 26 at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), Disney Channel will run a six-hour Hanna Montana marathon leading into the movie that night. That week, Disney Channel, beginning July 20, with a fresh Hannah Montana episode, entitled “Hannah in the Street with Diamonds,” will run a rock-themed show every night at 9 p.m.
Starting July 5, Wal-Mart will be giving complimentary 3-D glasses in the “back to school” displays at its outlets nationwide.
Cyrus, who raised eyebrows when she appeared semi-nude in a Vanity Fair photo session, completed a 70-dare concert tour, which is commemorated in Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: the Best of Both Worlds Concert. The Walt Disney Pictures film grossed over $65 million in the U.S. during its limited theatrical run.
Meanwhile, the cast of the series is currently filming the feature Hannah Montana: The Movie in Nashville. It's due for release in summer 2009
