Disney’s “Lemonade Mouth” A Hit

Disney Channel’s “Lemonade Mouth“ premiered to 5.7 million viewers, making it the #1 Original Movie of 2011. It also finished first overall in key target demographics for kids (6-11) and tweens (2.1). Additionally, it grew its audience with its second showing, giving it a total of 13.5 millon viewers for the weekend.

The soundtrack for the made-for-TV movie also reached #1 on the iTunes Soundtrack chart and ranks as the #4 album overall.

“I’m so grateful to be associated with such a positive project,” said TV/Film actor Scott Takeda, who plays the oncologist father of Stella Yamada (Haley Kiyoko). “I’ve had several studio premiers, but I’ve never experienced anything like this. It’s really amazing to see the popularity wave. Who knows… perhaps we’ll see a sequel.“

The young stars of the film performed on Good Morning America a few days before the premier, and are already talking about a possible concert tour.

Disney will release the DVD on May 23rd.
