The Jonas Brothers continued their 3D Concert Experience Surprise Theater Invasion tour over the weekend. Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas surprised eager JB fans at screenings in Los Angeles, New York and Dallas. Despite the hype and hoopla the Jonas Brothers 3D concert experience still did not perform as well as expected. Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail earned enough to take the number #1 spot at the boxoffice for the second week in a row.
The Jonas Brothers have visited fans on familiar turf, making a surprise appearance at a suburban New York movie theater they frequented while growing up.
The pop stars' stop at the Palisades Center on Saturday was one of several around the country to promote their new film, "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience."
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. source

Early numbers show the bottom dropping out of Disney's Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Concert Experience to Hollywood's immense surprise. What were weekend predictions of as much as $30 million and even $40 million had to be revised down, down, down as it opened to $4.8M Friday and then $4.6M Saturday for only a $12.7M weekend with Sunday estimate. "Concert pics usually look better on paper than they actually are because the fans drive tracking but it doesn't go beyond fans," one marketing guru told me. Of course, you have to remember that it's playing in just 1,271 3-D theaters. "Many had unrealistic expectations for this pic. But they forget the coup that Disney pulled off on Hannah Montana 3-D," a rval studio exec told me. That's because the latter was a "one week lock" engagement. (They held it over, of course). But Disney really created a sense of urgency among moviegoers to see that 3-D event which shocked Hollywood with a $32.1M opening. This time around, Disney's marketing gimmick was to send out the Jonas Brothers on surprise personal appearances.
The weekend started out promisingly for the pic with MovieTickets reporting 700+ sold-out screenings hours before it opened at midnight Thursday. But advance ticket sales weren't anywhere near the level of pre-sales for Hannah Montana. Then again, Miley Cyrus is the star of her own Disney show whereas the Jonas Brothers' series won't begin to air until summer. Still, they were nominated for a Grammy for New Artist, and Disney Records is simultaneously releasing a soundtrack of the film. source
