With this weeks new releases continue the great April box office numbers?

“Hannah Montana” ruled the roost this past weekend, helping to bring the second best April weekend ever at the box office. Hollywood is hoping for continued success this coming weekend with another Giant Mouse alum, a fast action sequel, and the likes of Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck.

“17 Again” (PG – New Line Cinema/Warner Bros.) – Zak Efron, Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann, Thomas Lennon, Michelle Trachtenberg. Matthew Perry plays Mike O’Donnell – who back in the day was a star on his high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. Instead, he chooses his girlfriend Scarlett and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Fast-forward to today – almost 20 years later. Mike's life sucks. His marriage to Scarlett has fallen apart, he didn’t get that big promotion at work, and his kids think he is a loser. He winds up crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-geek-billionaire best friend. And then the weirdness begins as Mike is given another chance and transformed back to the age of 17 – and into Zac Efron, where the age vs. experience thing makes for some fun. My rating: 3 out of 5 stars.

“Crank: High Voltage” (R – Lionsgate) – Jason Statham, Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakam, Efren Ramirez, Clifton Collins Jr., Bai Ling. The sequel has arrived! Hitman Chev Chelios launches himself on an electrifying chase through Los Angeles in pursuit of the Chinese mobster who has stolen his nearly indestructible heart. "Crank: High Voltage" is written and directed by Neveldine/Taylor, the duo behind the original "Crank," and the upcoming "Game" starring Gerard Butler. My rating: 3 out of 5 stars.

“State Of Play” (PG-13 – Universal) – Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright Penn, Jason Bateman, Jeff Daniels, Helen Mirren. Acclaimed director Kevin Macdonald ("The Last King of Scotland") takes the helm as Oscar winner Russell Crowe leads an all-star cast (including Robin Wright Penn, Jason Bateman and Michigan's own Jeff Daniels) in a blistering thriller about a rising congressman and an investigative journalist embroiled in a case of seemingly unrelated, brutal murders. Crowe plays D.C. reporter Cal McAffrey, whose street smarts lead him to untangle a mystery of murder and collusion among some of the nation's most promising political and corporate figures. My rating: 4 ½ out of 5 stars.

I have a feeling that “State Of Play” will be neck and neck with “17 Again” and “Crank: High Voltage”, with all of them bringing the potential for another great weekend at the box office. As to who I think will be #1? Stop by Friday.
