Warner Bros.' Zac Efron-starring "17 Again" should do more than $20 million, targeting teenage girls while also attracting more than a few twentysomething females and sizable date-night coin as well.

"We're going to do very well," Warners distribution president Dan Fellman said. "It's tracking well, and we should have a nice weekend."

Efron built his film and small-screen celebrity with Disney's "High School Musical" franchise. So though "17" is sure to attract an older audience than "Hannah Montana," it will be interesting to see whether he woos a few fans away from the Disney pic.

Elsewhere among the wide releases, Lionsgate's R-rated action sequel "Crank: High Voltage" -- in which Jason Statham reprises his role as a professional assassin who battles bad guys -- targets teen and young-adult males.

Franchise starter "Crank" opened to $10.5 million (7.1 million pounds) in September 2006 and rung up $27.8 million overall domestically and another $16.9 million overseas. It looks like "Voltage" should get into the double-digit millions this weekend without breaking a sweat.

Universal's political thriller "State of Play," the big-screen adaptation of a hugely successful British television series, is the weekend opener for older moviegoers. Although early reviews have been solid, prerelease interest appears a bit soft in tracking surveys.

Starring Russell Crowe as a reporter at a U.S. newspaper, "Play" was directed by Kevin Macdonald ("The Last King of Scotland") and co-stars Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren and Robin Wright Penn. A bow south of double-digit millions would represent a disappointment, with the studio hoping to ring up $10 million or more through Sunday.

What to expect from last week's box-office champ, "Hannah Montana," this weekend? The Miley Cyrus movie bowed with $32.2 million the previous weekend, well exceeding prerelease expectations, and its second frame is sure to be big.

"It was so unexpected, but it was fun," Disney distribution chief Chuck Viane said of the movie's outsize debut. "Our jaws were hanging down over the huge success of the film."

Still, tween movies tend to drop 60 percent or more in their second frames. A decline of that proportion would see "Hannah" register $13 million or less in the frame.

Elsewhere among the holdovers, Universal's hot-rodding action sequel "Fast & Furious" should still have some fuel in its tank, with teen millions appearing attainable during a third session for the Vin Diesel/Paul Walker-starring film.
