Where The Wild Things Are contains actors alongside animation

Where The Wild Things Are made $32.5m (£19.9m) in its first weekend, beating Jamie Foxx thriller2 Law Abiding3 Citizen into a second place debut4.

The film, which mixes live action and animation, is based on the children's book by Maurice Sendak, but audiences were predominantly made up of adults.

Ghost flick5 Paranormal Activity was also a new entry at number three.

The film - shot in the style of a documentary - is said to have made a box office impact due to word-of-mouth interest and has been compared to 1999 hit The Blair Witch Project.

It beat the debut Sony's bigger budget horror movie The Stepfather into fifth spot.

It is due to be expanded into more cinemas at the weekend where it will go head-to-head with established horror franchise6（特权，公民权） outing Saw VI.

The adaptation of Where The Wild Things Are, directed by Spike7 Jonze, features the voices of Forest Whitaker and James Gandolfini.

The story's main protagonist8（主演，主角） is a boy who journeys to a land populated by monsters who are torn between hugging him and having him for dinner.
