If you write a good solid screenplay, cast it with excellent talent and provide entertainment that the whole family can watch together – the viewers will come.
The Disney Channel hit the jackpot over the weekend from doing just that, and according to Nielsen Media's preliminary figures, the Wizards of Waverly Place the Movie was more than a new season send-off for the television series, Wizards of Waverly Place as a made-for-television movie on Friday night, August 28. It grabbed an average 11.4 million viewers, an awesome number, which was the most watched television show on cable this season and even beating out the NFL preseason game on CBS that held six million viewers captive or the Jon and Kate Plus 8 episode, “We’re Getting Divorced,” that only took in about one million national fans.
The television series, Wizards of Waverly Place, according to Nielsen holds first place as a telecast for 2009 in children ages 6 to11 (4.5 million) and those all-important tweens ages 9 to 14 (4.0 million.)
Never under estimate the drawing-power of positive-image Disney rising stars, Selena Gomez, Jake T. Austin and Maria Canals-Barrera, all who were recently honored with approving nods from the ALMA Awards, which will take place on September 17, 2009 with television broadcast of the ceremonies on ABC-TV, September 18, 2009.
When Disney remembers their roots they hit their mark and they do it like no one else.
