    it beat the first high school musical which had 7.7 million, but it didn’t beat the second which had 17.2 million. (:
    it’s the 7th highest rated disney movie… which i think is kind of bad. i thought it would’ve at least beat the first movie.

    I was expecting a lot higher ratings. They’ve been promoting this thing since March and that’s the best they get?
