Release edit

Theatrical edit

The film began a week-long engagement in 683 theaters on February 1, 2008. In its opening weekend, it grossed $31.1 million. As of 2022, it continues to be the most successful Super Bowl weekend opening, a particularly barren spot in the winter dump months of the movie-release calendar.[5]

Home media edit

The DVD arrived on both formats in America on August 19. The DVD, a 2-Disc Extended Edition, includes an 82-minute cut in both 2D and 3D viewing modes. Bonus features on both include behind-the-scenes footage with Miley, Billy Ray, and the Jonas Brothers; a sing-along mode, and "total concert immersion through 3D viewing capability".[citation needed] The DVD contains a Dolby 5.1 track and both full-screen and anamorphic widescreen formats, while Blu-ray goes 16x9 only and delivers DTS-HD MA 7.1 surround sound, one of the first Blu-ray releases to have that specific surround sound. Recalling the successful theatrical gimmick, the home video releases were vowed to be sold "for a limited time only". The DVD and Blu-ray were released in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2008, and the DVD was released in Australia on October 8.

Also included on the 2-disc release were two bonus performances not included in either version of the film: Miley Cyrus performing "Good and Broken" and the Jonas Brothers performing "S.O.S".[6] A performance of "Good and Broken" had previously appeared on the film's soundtrack album.
