In honor of their Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience movie, the trio has been surprising fans at random movie theaters across the nation. One of those stops just happened to be at the 10:30 a.m. at the Palisades Mall in Nyack, New York.
The West Nyack appearance was something of a homecoming for Joe, Kevin and Nick Jonas, raised in nearby Wyckoff, N.J. Nick Jonas said at a news conference that they often saw movies at the mall, "so the fact that we're coming back here is really, really, really cool."
The film opened Friday, capping some heady weeks for the Grammy-nominated brothers. They performed at the White House for presidential daughters Malia and Sasha Obama last month.
It may come up short of the $31 million Miley Cyrus' 3-D movie bowed to, but Jonas Brothers: 3-D Concert Experience did come out on top of Friday's estimates with a $4.8 million opening, on tap for a $20 million weekend. That was just enough to unseat last weekend's top dog, “Madea Goes to Jail” ($4.6 million), which will likely top $60 million after just its second week. Friday's third-place spot went to “Slumdog Millionaire” ($3.2 million), on pace for a nice post-Oscar bump thanks in part to Fox Searchlight adding 700 runs this frame. And fourth-place “Taken” ($2.85 million) is set to break $100 million after just four weeks in release.
