High School Musical 3 breaks records: The third film in the High School Musical series has set a new box office record, despite its release date being two weeks away. (Anita Singh, 07 Oct 2008, Daily Telegraph)

Such is the anticipation surrounding the Disney sequel that advance ticket sales in the UK have topped £800,000 and will be pushing £1 million by the time the film hits cinemas.

The pre-release takings exceed the previous record holder, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and dwarf advance bookings for every Bond film including the latest, Quantum of Solace.
