LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 26, 2006--Columbia Pictures will present MONSTER HOUSE in REAL D, the leader in the delivery of premium digital 3D experiences, at Cinema Expo in Amsterdam on Thursday, June 29. MONSTER HOUSE in 3D will be released in REAL D day-and-date with the motion picture's 2D release starting domestically on July 21, 2006. MONSTER HOUSE is the second release in REAL D and the second motion picture to employ the ground-breaking "Performance Capture" innovation developed by Sony Pictures Imageworks.

"New technologies are changing everything related to making, distributing and watching movies, and REAL D's digital 3D cinema format is helping create an entirely new artistic palette that lets filmmakers tell stories in more engaging and exciting ways," said Steve Starkey, Producer of MONSTER HOUSE.

In Columbia Pictures' comedy thrill-ride MONSTER HOUSE, three kids (newcomers Mitchel Musso, Sam Lerner and Spencer Locke) cross over to the other side of the street to unlock a mystery and experience the greatest adventure of their lives. DJ (Musso), the kid across the street, has the plan. Jenny (Locke), the newcomer, has the brains. And Chowder (Lerner), DJ's best friend, doesn't have a clue.

MONSTER HOUSE cast includes Steve Buscemi, Nick Cannon, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jon Heder, Kevin James, Jason Lee, Sam Lerner, Spencer Locke, Mitchel Musso, Catherine O'Hara, Kathleen Turner and Fred Willard.
