Big first round for 'Monsters vs. Aliens'


March 28, 2009 Aliens got off to a monstrous start on Friday, with an estimated $16.8 million in first-day domestic boxoffice. "Monsters" -- produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount -- is playing on about 7,000 screens in 4,014 theaters. Lionsgate's supernatural thriller "The Haunting in Connecticut" -- rated PG-13 -- seems to be performing in line with solid prerelease expectations.
