Sci-fi film District 9, produced by Peter Jackson, is expected to lure huge crowds to American theatres when it debuts this weekend.

It has already drawn throngs of fanboys, when it previewed at last month's Comic-Con pop culture convention in San Diego.

The movie, about aliens on Earth who possess powerful weapons that humans want to control, was co-written and directed by Neill Blomkamp.

District 9 is currently screening in New Zealand.
