LOS ANGELES (AP):
Movie fans are eagerly making the journey to Where the Wild Things Are.
The live-action adaptation of Maurice Sendak's beloved picture book led the box office with a $32.5-million opening weekend.
Where the Wild Things Are was followed by Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler's vengeance thriller Law Abiding Citizen, which debuted with $21.3 million.
Expanding into wider release, the low-budget horror sensation Paranormal Activity moved up to No. 3 with $20.2 million.
Paranormal Activity outdid the premiere of the big-studio fright flick The Stepfather, which played in nearly four times as many theatres but managed just a No. 5 opening with $12.3 million
