The Jonas Brothers could not live up to the general expectations of the public and the industry experts. There was a massive hype for the Jo-Bro´s latest film , “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” which earned a mere $12.7 million in an estimated three-day sales. This was sure a damping experience for the Jo-Bros who had expected to churn out more for their label and godfather distributor Walt Disney Co. An insider from the Walt Disney Co said that the earnings were low compared to the high scale promotions and high voltage industry forecasts. The industry forecasts reached a very high estimate of $25 million which is rather wild to be considered.
“Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience” fell a flat second to the comedy film about a tough-talking old lady, “Madea Goes to Jail”. The older black woman outnumbered the teen idols – The Jonas Brothers. “Madea Goes to Jail” earned a high grossing of $16.5 million which overall took the 10-day total of the film to a whopping $64.9 million. The Jo-Bros had tried everything to pull in young crowds by even physically appearing at various studios.
The Walt Disney Picture´s latest quest with the Jonas Brothers have put the teen idols up for a race with Miley Cyrus whose popular concert film “Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds,” had opened with a smashing $31.1 million a year ago, and ended up with $65.3 million. The ongoing fight between Miley and the Jonas Brothers is up yet again.
