The boys of One Direction are banking that their remarkable journey to fame has at least one more year of glory.

Moviegoers will get a 3D eyeful of the the wildly popular UK boy band in exactly nine months, the young hit makers announced this morning.

“We are going to do our first ever movie,” Niall Horan revealed on NBC’s “Today” show, to the screams of delighted fans.

“It’s going to be in 3D, and it’s coming to cinemas near you on the 13th of August, 2013.”

The band had previously said a movie was in the works, but today marked the an actual release date.

“Today” show host Matt Lauer joked: “We just got word in our ear that tickets have just sold out.”

One Direction — Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson — thrilled thousands of young, female fans who jammed Rockefeller Plaza.

The 1D boys sang their signature hits “What Makes You Beautiful” and “Live While We’re Young.”

As “Today” did a countdown to the band taking the stage, Lauer hyped the show: “Let’s start the count down to one of the biggest concert events — no let’s just say, the biggest concert event that we have ever had here on the ‘Today’ show!”

Fans from across the country have been milling around Rockefeller Plaza since late last week, in hopes of catching a glimpse of their teen heartthrobs.

So many teeny-boppers were camped out around 30 Rock yesterday — flocking here from as far away as Ohio and Maryland — that businesses along 48th Street and down Sixth Avenue complained about the clogged sidewalks.

NBC eventually cleared the space, giving the first 600 fans wristbands and telling them to get lost until 2 a.m. today, when they were allowed to grab spots near the 30 Rock stage.

“My hips have been hurting because I was [sitting] on the ground so long, but you got to do what you got to do,” said Christa Guzman, 12, of Fairfield, Conn., who traveled to Manhattan with her 14-year-old sister and dad Sunday night to get in line.

The wristbands were a blessing and a curse for fans, leaving some happy they didn’t have to spend all night at 30 Rock — but many more worried they might lose their spots.

Sandra Montada of Laurel, Md., who brought her ninth-grade daughter, Caroline, to the city for the show, took pity on two upset girls in line and offered to share a hotel room.

“A lot of girls had the intention of sleeping out here for several days,” said Montada as she furiously searched for hotel rooms on her smartphone. “These two girls who have $100 in their pocket, what are they going to do?”

Yesterday was Veterans Day, a school holiday for many fans, but almost all of them will still miss classes today for the show.

“I have my homework in my bag because as soon as I get back, I’m going straight to school,” said Christa Guzman’s 14-year-old sister, Adrienne.

Those without wristbands only hoped security would let in a few more for the performance.
