Six years ago Today in Movie History – February 1 – Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert movie set the all-time opening weekend record for a musical concert film with $31.1 million. It also set the record for highest debut on Super Bowl weekend. Both records still stand. In the six years following, Cyrus has remained a force in music even though her material has, um, grown up a bit.

As for birthdays, today would’ve marked the 49th birthday of Brandon Lee. The son of Bruce Lee, Brandon was just beginning to become a star and had appeared in action pics including Showdown in Little Tokyo and Rapid Fire. In March of 1993, Lee was filming The Crow when he was accidentally shot and killed on set. A year later, The Crow would debut to robust results and an eventual $50 million domestic haul.

Pauly Shore is 46 today. The former MTV personality might not have had critics on his side, but he made a successful transition into film in the early 90s with Encino Man and Son-in-Law. His pictures would begin to see diminishing returns with In the Army Now, Jury Duty, and Bio-Dome.

As for Six Degrees of Separation between Mr. Lee and Mr. Shore:

Brandon Lee was in Showdown in Little Tokyo with Dolph Lundgren

Dolph Lundgren was in The Expendables with Sylvester Stallone

Sylvester Stallone was in Demolition Man with Wesley Snipes

Wesley Snipes was in Rising Sun with Tia Carrere

Tia Carrere was in Jury Duty with Pauly Shore

And that’s today – January 29 – in Movie History!
