Additionally, nearly 10 million DVD units have been sold to date around the world.

Rich Ross, president, Disney Channel Worldwide, added, “When people think ‘big screen’ for a TV movie, they generally don’t think this big – but no plasma TV could contain our plans for ‘High School Musical 3’ thanks to the Walt Disney Studios.”

Gary Marsh, president, entertainment, Disney Channel Worldwide, commented, “‘High School Musical 3′ exploded off the TV screen and into the lives of kids and families everywhere. It skyrocketed to heights never before achieved by a TV movie, so it’s only fitting that its next incarnation should be as a major motion picture.

“Terminator Salvation Trailer”
In Theaters May 22, 2009

Warner Bros. is reinventing the “Terminator” cyborg saga with a storyline to be told over a three-picture span. “Terminator Salvation” is the first in a new trilogy of the “Terminator Movie” franchise. And as he helped resurrect the “Batman” movie franchise, Christian Bale (“The Dark Knight”) stars in “Terminator Salvation,” while McG directs “Terminator 4.” Arnold Schwarzenegger is not reprising his role as “The Terminator” in “T4” and will NOT make a cameo appearance in “Terminator 4.”

The latest installment of The Terminator film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.

In “T4,” McG’s take is to weave science fiction and horror elements into a state-of-the-art action film: “The camera always moves, the imagery is raw and kinetic, the pace is insane. The creative challenge for me will be to bury the effects into the photography but to still protect our big visual moments,” he says.

The “Terminator Salvation Trailer” premiered July 16, 2008.

“Madagascar 2: The Crate Escape”
“Madagascar 2” – In Theaters November 7, 2008

“Madagascar 2” – In “Madagascar 2: The Crate Escape,” all the loveable characters are back — Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippo, King Julien, Maurice and the penguins. Left marooned on the distant shores of Madagascar, the New Yorkers have hatched a plan so crazy it just might work. With military precision, the penguins have repaired an old crashed plane – sort of. Once aloft, this unlikely crew stays airborne just long enough to make it to the wildest place of all – the vast plains of Africa itself — where our zoo-raised crew encounters species of their own kind for the very first time. While discovering their roots, they quickly realize the differences between the concrete jungle and the heart of Africa. Despite long-lost relatives, romantic rivals and scheming hunters, Africa seems like a “crack-a-lackin” great place…but is it better than their Central Park home? And, as you know, especially if you sat through the first “Madagascar” with your kids, Alex is voiced by Ben Stiller.

The original “Madagascar” was released in theaters in 2005.
