Walt Disney's Hannah Montana: The Movie soared to the top of the North American box office this weekend with $34 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Directed by Peter Chelsom, the film is based on Disney's popular television series and stars Miley Cyrus as an energetic teenager who gets to reexamine her hectic life as a famous pop star during a trip to her hometown.

Paul Walker in Fast and Furious

Last week's winner, Fast & Furious, collected another solid $28.7 million in second place, reaching a cumulative gross of $118 million after a strong two-week run. In the Justin Lin-directed action flick, Paul Walker and Vin Diesel team up to infiltrate the operations of a ruthless drug lord.

Monsters vs. Aliens

Meanwhile, DreamWorks Animation's latest adventure tale, Monsters vs. Aliens, dropped to No. 3, taking home $22.6 million and bringing its domestic total to $141 million. In the animated film, a group of eccentric monsters assist the U.S. government in battling a hostile alien planning to take over the world.

Seth Rogen in Observe and Report

New entry Observe and Report finished at No. 4 with only $11.1 million. Jody Hill's latest comedy stars Seth Rogen as a mall security guard who'll stop at nothing to fulfill his dream and become a real cop. Anna Faris and Ray Liotta co-star.
