LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - For many films, this weekend will play like a two-day frame because of Sunday's Super Bowl -- which could carry a little gal named Hannah Montana to box-office glory.

Disney's "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert" goes out in 3-D projection in 683 domestic locations, starting Friday (February 1). That's just a fraction of the playdates of most other wide openers, but the screen count hardly tells the story of the studio's extra-dimensional hopes for "Hannah."
Indeed, "Hannah" -- Montana is the performer's TV show persona, Cyrus her real name -- has a few things going for it that could help the concert film sing its way to No. 1 this weekend.
For starters, 3-D releases support higher ticket prices, and in "Hannah's" case, exhibitors are expected to charge up to $15 per admission. That's a particularly pricey ducat, considering that most ticket buyers will be tweens and younger who normally would get a break from the adult-ticket price.
