Jonas Brothers' Movie Flop: Nick's Box Office Regret
24 Jul
Summary
- Nick Jonas felt disappointment over his band's 3-D movie's box office performance.
- The Jonas Brothers' film grossed $25 million, while Miley Cyrus' movie earned over $150 million.
- Nick Jonas dealt with his disappointment by playing loud rock music on a drum set.
Nick Jonas has spoken about his past disappointment stemming from the modest box office success of the Jonas Brothers' 3-D concert film. Released in February 2009, 'Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience' garnered $25 million, a figure Nick found underwhelming.
This perceived failure was intensified by the simultaneous success of Miley Cyrus' 'Hannah Montana: The Movie' in April 2009, which achieved over $150 million. Nick reflected on this competitive comparison, noting how it highlighted their desire to be the 'best' during their youth.
To process these feelings, Nick Jonas utilized an unconventional method. He set up a drum set in his laundry room and engaged in an extended, energetic rock music session with former guitarist John Lloyd Taylor, finding a cathartic release.
The 'Burnin' Up' tour footage featured in the band's movie contrasted sharply with the narrative of 'Hannah Montana: The Movie.' The significant financial gap underscored the pressures faced by the young artists in the entertainment industry, as discussed on their podcast.
