'BEST?' AND HOW! Tuesday, February 5 2008 
Disney
underestimated
just
how
many
parents
on
Super
Bowl
Sunday
would
drop
off
their
kids
at
theaters
showing
Hannah
Montana/Miley
Cyrus:
Best
of
Both
Worlds
3-D.
After
predicting
that
the
movie
would
earn
$29
million,
the
studio
learned
Monday
that
Sunday's
actual
sales
came
in
at
$2
million
more
than
it
had
estimated
--
bringing
the
weekend
total
to
$31.12
million.
Playing
on
just
683
3-D
screens,
it
averaged

When
final
box-office
figures
were
counted
up,
only
about
$300,000
separated
the
take
of
the
No.
1
film,
Meet
the
Spartans,
from
the
No.
2
film,
Rambo,
according
to
box-office
trackers
Media
by
Numbers.
Spartans
took
in
$18.5
million
over
the
weekend,
compared
to
Rambo's
$18.2
million.
Both
films
performed
according
to
expectations,
but
several
box-office
gurus
had
predicted
that
Rambo
would
edge
out
Spartans,
instead
of
the
other
way
around.

Bootleg copies of Sylvester Stallone's latest Rambo movie are popping up all over Myanmar (Burma), despite efforts by authorities to prevent the film from being circulated, Reuters reported today (Tuesday). In a report from Yangon, the wire service said that the movie, in which the country's military junta is portrayed as the enemy, is "fast becoming a talking point among a population eager to shake off 45 years of military rule." Reuters indicated that a paraphrased line from the movie, "Live for nothing, die for something," has become a rallying cry within the country and has buoyed the resolve of opponents of the military regime.
