BURBANK , Calif., Oct. 17 (UPI) -- A Disney Digital 3-D version of the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus concert tour will screen for one week at select movie theaters in the United States and Canada.

The movie will be in theaters from Feb. 1-7, Dick Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studios, announced Wednesday.

It will also open in the spring in several international markets, including Britain, Australia, New Zealand, German-speaking Europe, Latin America and other select Asian and European territories.

The filmed version of the concert tour will be shot in state-of-the-art 3-D at several venues during the upcoming 54-city tour, which begins in St. Louis on Thursday with Cyrus' special guest, Jonas Brothers.

Cyrus, the 14-year old singing sensation and star of Disney Channel's hit series, "Hannah Montana," will perform as both a solo artist and as her hugely popular television character.

"We wanted to find some special way to let all of her fans share the excitement and fun of this live event, and filming the concert in 3-D seemed like an ideal way to do that. This is going to be an exciting 3-D motion picture event experience for everyone who loves 'Hannah Montana,'" Cook said in a statement.
