Monsters,
Inc. had one of the biggest weekend openings of
the year, bringing in an estimated $63.5 million and blowing away
analyst predictions. Families swarmed theaters as showings continually

Shrek's opening of $42.3 last May even though Shrek
was featured on more screens.

box office numbers will be released Monday night and reported
