Cloverfield Breaks January Box Office Records!

 

Published 1/20/2008 at ComingSoon.net - Movies

With still a day to go in the four-day Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend, Paramount's Cloverfield has already broken two January records. Earning an estimated $41 million from Friday to Sunday in 3,411 theaters, the J.J. Abrams-produced monster movie has surpassed the previous all-time 3-day January weekend record held by "Star Wars: Special Edition" ($35.9 million in 1997). With the $41 million, the movie also has passed up in three days the previous four-day Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend record set by Black Hawk Down ($33.6 million) in 2002. Cloverfield was made for just $25 million. (link)
