Monsters and Fairy Tales Rule Weekend Boxoffice
Monsters and Fairy Tales Rule Weekend Boxoffice
Boys pick "Alien vs. Predator," girls choose "The Princess Diaries 2."

Twentieth Century Fox's monster battle gobbled up $38.3 million of the weekend's box office, while Walt Disney's fairy tale fantasy posted a three-day total of $23 million after bowing on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, younger tykes were enthralled by Warner Bros.' trading-card adaptation "Yu-Gi-Oh!," which took in $9.4 million from 2,411 venues.
The top two pics both overperformed. "Alien vs. Predator," which Fox says carried a $60 million pricetag, nudged past last year's $36.4 million opening for monster mash "Freddy vs. Jason," which also bowed in the second weekend of August.
"It's a great number," said Fox distributor head Bruce Snyder. "We couldn't be happier."
