A newly brunette Miley Cyrus stopped rush-hour traffic Thursday night when her Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert 3-D film opened on Hollywood Boulevard.
"I like being myself, doing my thing!" Cyrus, 15, told PEOPLE at the El Capitan Theatre, which had been closed off for blocks to accommodate thousands of fans lining the sidewalks around it.
"I'm so excited to be here. It's the first time I've ever been at my own premiere," she said.
The concert movie is expected to set box-office records, say industry analysts. It was already No. 1 on MovieTickets.com on Dec. 1 – the first week tickets went on sale – and sold more over that weekend, a spokesman for the Web site told the Associated Press.
On Fandango, the Miley movie accounted for 30 percent of all tickets sold, behind only Cloverfield. "It's the best-selling concert movie in Fandango's seven-year history," said company CEO Rick Butler.
