I’m hearing tonight that Sony’s Monster House may scare up more box office bucks Friday than Warner’s Lady in the Water. That would be very unexpected. M. Night Shyamalan’s movie was anticipated to be No. 2 behind, of course, Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest. Then again, I’d been hearing all summer that Lady in the Water, which Warner’s marketed as a horror movie when it’s not, would drown during its opening weekend. And the reviews for Monster House were much, much better. In any case, it’s very close. Stay tuned…
