Will it be a death race, or a bunny race, at the weekend box office? (You can thank Sony distribution chief Rory Bruer for coming up with that line.)

Universal's testosterone-fueled actioner "Death Race" is looking pretty good; good meaning an opening gross in the mid- to high-teens.

But don't write off Anna Faris topliner "House Bunny," from Sony. Younger gals could drive a better-than-expected opening for the comedy, about a Playboy bunny who becomes a house mother for a sorority. Don't forget that "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" scored a five-day opening of roughly $18 million earlier this month, including a weekend total of $10.8 million. And the Playboy factor could lure members of the opposite sex.
