Anvil! Beats Hannah Montana at the Box Offices
Monday, April 13, 2009
The US debut of Sacha Gervasi’s “Anvil! The Story of Anvil,” was the top Easter weekend newcomer at the specialty box office with a better per screen theater average ($11,600) than Hannah Montana or any film that opened this past weekend. The film grossed $34,800 from 3 screens this weekend. The Abramorama release is being heavily supported by VH1 on all platforms and highlighting that is the band’s US tour, “VH1 Classic Presents: The Anvil Experience” in which the film is played at each tour stop followed by a short performance by the band.

I think Hannah Montana is nothing more than a talentless lip syncing spoiled brat, but if the Anvil movie was shown in the same amount of theaters it would be a huge disaster. So I really wouldn’t say it did better.
so are preteen girls going to be buying Anvil records now? Is Anvil going to get a half hour show on Disney?
lolz…hannah montana was pwn3d
haha no way??? awesome!!
Anvil fuckin rule, they are FINALLY getting what they deserve
Anvil! made $34,651 in its opening weekend.
Hannah Montana made $32,324,487.
So how did Anvil! beat it again? Exactly. It didn’t. Fucking morons.
