Monsters beat the Boat

Animated film Monsters vs Aliens has gone straight to the top of the UK and Ireland box office film chart, taking £4.3m on its opening weekend.

The Dreamworks film, which pits classic film monsters against beings from outer space, beat British comedy The Boat That Rocked into second place.

The Richard Curtis film, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman and Rhys Ifans, took £1.8m in its opening weekend.

Last week's number one, Knowing, starring Nicolas Cage, is at three.

Runner-up is not a bad result for The Boat that Rocked
