The hugely popular Disney Channel sitcom
Hannah Montana, starring Miley Cyrus, made its second transition to the big screen this weekend in
Hannah Montana: The Movie. The song-filled comedy took the number one spot with a whopping $34 million. That number proved to be $4 million higher than Miley's last turn at the box office in
Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour. This is a strong franchise that shows no signs of slowing down.
Racing into second place this Easter weekend was Universal's fourth chapter in the popular Vin Diesel/Paul Walker car racing series
Fast & Furious. It nabbed another solid $28.7 million, making it the fastest film to zoom past the hundred million dollar mark this year. In just two weeks of release, it has already made more than $118 million. We're more than guaranteed a fifth installment at this point.
This weekend's other two major releases didn't fare quite as well. The Jody Hill directed Seth Rogen mall cop comedy earned $11.1 million, placing it at number four. And 20th Century Fox's manga adaptation
Dragonball Evolution belly flopped into the number eight spot with a measly $4.6 million take. You can look for both movies to disappear from the Cineplex rather quickly. If there is going to be a
Dragonball Evolution sequel, it may go straight to video.
Will Miley be able to hold the top spot for two weeks in a row? It's unlikely, as she will have to go toe to toe with Disney's other favorite kid Zac Efron in
17 Again, as well as Russell Crowe in the blogging thriller
State of Play. It will be one heck of a Disney cat fight. That's for sure.

I'll find out this weekend if I think 17 Again is enjoyable (to me) or not. Who cares if it is rehash? Many movies are but are still entertaining. This movie looks fun and I love Tom Lennon.
it friday and walker & Vin diesel will be on board and it will be in Brazil!!!
17 Again
13 going on 30
Big
Jesus, home many times can you make the same movie.
Thank GOD Dragonball bombed big time!
no one saw it, did they honestly think it would draw in a large crowd?
i'd rather have Hannah Montana or Fast and Furious rank #1
and as for 17 Again the reviews have been very positive so far
it's gonna be good to see Efron again
