HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Miley Cyrus rocked to the top of the weekend box office as "Hannah Montana: The Movie" soared to the No. 1 spot with $34 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates released Sunday.

The first big-screen adaptation of the hit Disney Channel TV series outdistanced last weekend's box office champ, "Fast & Furious," which fell to second place with $28.8 million.

The 16-year-old Cyrus showed up at theaters in Utah and Tennessee with her father and co-star, Billy Ray Cyrus. She also thanked her fans via Twitter.

"Omgomg! my fans rock! the movie is doing great you guys! omg AND its all cause of you!!!! I LOVE U ALL! IF YOU HAVENT SEEN IT YET CHECK IT!," wrote Cyrus, whose 3-D concert film also debuted at No. 1 last year.
