LOS ANGELES (AP)—“Where the Wild Things Are” proved a bigger hit with adult audiences than family crowds as the adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book debuted at No. 1 with $32.5 million.

LOS ANGELES (AP)—“Star Trek” beamed itself up to the top of the box office, earning $76.5 million in its opening weekend. Paramount Pictures had estimated that the movie would make about $50 million for the weekend, but figured that strong reviews helped carry it to the bigger opening.

The Walt Disney Co. is taking a stake in Hulu.com. This means titles from The Walt Disney Studios library of films and full-length episodes of ABC television shows will join the online video site.

LOS ANGELES (AP)—Movie beasts from old-time Hollywood got a makeover as heroes and conquered the weekend box office. DreamWorks Animation’s action comedy “Monsters vs. Aliens,“ which features creatures from 1950s flicks in a showdown with invading extraterrestrials, launched itself into the No. 1 spot with a $58.2 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Once again, the intoxicating scent of popcorn will make itself known at the Crossings Shopping Center near Hopewell. The Crossings Cinema, closed for six months, is reopening under new management tomorrow. The new co-owners of the two-auditorium theater are Ben Sanderson and Patricia Daves. “I used to love going to the cinema and talking about movies,“ said Sanderson, a former assistant editor at the Hopewell News.

Really?

Maybe “The Wrestler” isn’t the best movie of the year, as I believe it is. But surely it’s in the top five.
