From Variety:
Beauty and the beast made the heart of winter look more like summer at the weekend box office as Paramount’s “Cloverfield” delivered a monstrous debut of $41 million — the best January opening ever — and 20th Century Fox’s romantic comedy “27 Dresses” fit like a glove in grossing an estimated $22.4 million.
“Cloverfield,” outpacing all expectations, gives Brad Grey’s Par a much-needed victory as it kicks off its 2008 slate. Playing in 3,411 theaters and produced for only $25 million, the pic was produced by J.J. Abrams. It is the studio’s 10th best opening on the books.
