Cloverfield sets monster record in US
'Cloverfield' has become the first freak hit of 2008 after devising $41m (€28m) in the US last weekend, a record hatchway for Jan according to studio estimates.
Watch an extended clip from 'Cloverfield' here.
The tarradiddle of a giant reptilian causing chaos in Fresh House of York City surpassed the $35.9m premier weekend of the 'Star Wars' special edition in 1997, the previous topper for Jan.
Featuring a hurtle of unknowns, 'Cloverfield' tells its devil history from the position of a partygoer's hand-held telecasting photographic camera, which captures the mayhem as the tool crying through the city.
The film benefited from cryptic marketing that sent moviegoers on a magpie hunt to decipher clues around the movie's plot, images and even its title, which was non confirmed until shortly before its release.
'Cloverfield' is released in Hibernia on 1 Feb.
