This is the official clip of "A Night To Remember" from High School Musical 3. The Disney musical has the same stars from HSM and HSM2 and will hit theaters on October 24th. Disney's website for the films can be found here.
If you haven't already heard High School Musical 2 was a huge hit for Disney as expected. Varietysays the shows 17.2 million viwers was the "most-watched basic-cable telecast on record."
Disney Channel averaged a whopping 17.2 million viewers for its premiere of "High School Musical 2" on Friday night, making it the most-watched basic-cable telecast on record. It's also the largest aud for any television program on any net in about three months.
The average audience for the premiere Friday, according to preliminary Nielsen estimates, makes it well more than double the 7.7 million who tuned in for the premiere of the original telepic in January 2006.
Of course, the original pic became a phenomenon, with millions of kids and tweens watching it multiple times over the last 19 months, helping build anticipation for its sequel to a fever-pitch. Disney also picked a great date for the weekend launch of the second pic, timed to the when youngsters were prepping for the return to school as well as the start of the summer cool-down at the box office.
Fans of the HSM shows do watch them over and over again. They also watch the music videos over and over again. They also post them repeatedly. Evidence of this is the 100,000+ videos that turn up if you search YouTube for "High School Musical." As we mentioned in an earlier post Disney has even set up a YouTube channel for HSM 2. Here is the music video for the song "All For One."
It is very likely that Disney will make a third High School Musical film. Variety says HSM 3 will be a theatrical release. The question is whether they will be able to get the stars - Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens - back now that they are becoming household names. The should be able to if they offer the stars enough fun. Besides it is the HSM films that are turning these actors into stars. IMDB already has a listing for HSM3.
