Move over, Jonas Brothers: Hannah Montana: The Movie is roaring to the second-best Easter weekend opening ever, grossing an estimated $34 million. The haul bolsters Miley Cyrus’ star status and far exceeds expectations, Variety reports. Fast & Furious had been expected to rule the box office this week; instead, it declined 59 percent from last week and took second place at $28.2 million, for a $118 million total. And sad news for Seth Rogen: his new comedy, Observe and Report, earned $11.1 million in its first weekend, much weaker than projected.
