CLOVERFIELD Crushes Box-Office Competitors
With an estimated US$41 million take, Cloverfield destroyed its competition at the North American box office this weekend.
Paramount’s monster movie directed by Matt Reeves and produced by J. J. Abrams soared past the $35 million record opening of the Star Wars 1997 rerelease. Cloverfield focuses on a small group of friends trying to escape Manhattan while a massive creature rips through the city.
New entry 27 Dresses (above, with James Marsden and Malin Akerman) ranked in second, pulling in $22.4 million from ticket sales at 3,057 locations.

Diane Keaton, Claire Danes, Ty Giordano, Craig T. Nelson, Dermot Mulroney in The Family Stone
The Family Stone is the sort of fairy tale that works in reverse.
