3-D 'Monster House' seeks to lure moviegoers

LOS ANGELES, July 22 (Reuters) The debut of Steven Spielberg's animated thriller 'Monster House' yesterday is part of an explosion of 3D films that Hollywood studios and exhibitors hope will bring people back to the movies.

The Columbia Pictures film will debut on the largest number of digital 3D-equipped screens ever, in a nod to the unexpectedly robust results shown last fall by the Walt Disney Co's 3D release of 'Chicken Little'.
