No. 1: Seventeen Again

With a first-week box office figure close to 25-million dollars, Seventeen Again is leading the pack in North America. The comedy from New Line Cinema stars Zac Efron, Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann, and Thomas Lennon. Although the plot displays little imagination and innovation, the stars seem to have their own drawing power as viewers are swarming in. If the initial success is any guide, its popularity may last well into the summer.
