Clover field

The creature-feature "Cloverfield" became the first monster hit released in 2008, debuting with $41 million, a record opening for January, according to studio estimates Sunday. Paramount's tale of a giant reptile causing chaos in New York City surpassed the $35.9 million premiere weekend of the "Star Wars" special edition in 1997, the previous best for January. Opening in second-place was 20th Century Fox's romantic comedy "27 Dresses," starring Katherine Heigl as a perpetual bridesmaid. It pulled in $22.4 million ... Featuring a cast of unknowns, "Cloverfield" tells its monster story from the perspective of a partygoer's hand-held video camera, which captures the mayhem as the creature tears through the city. The film benefited from cryptic marketing that sent young moviegoers on a scavenger hunt to decode clues about the movie's plot, images and even its title, which was not confirmed until shortly before its release. "As we started it, we asked, how do we draw people in and have them say, `Hey, I want to know more about that. That looked cool, that looked intriguing,'" said Rob Moore, Paramount vice chairman. "Then fortunately, they delivered a movie that was as unique and engaging as people had hoped from the marketing campaign."

Walao, 41 million! That was surprising! Seriously i wont say that it was really bad lah...it's was very realistic . I understand the idea of self video concept, when they were running though the subway tunnel, when they turn on the camera to night mode..seriously wanted to scream RUN so badly! after the movie i dun feel so good..because of the realness shooting, keep on shaking the angle..i cannot take it.. i really feel dizziy...i'm like "come ON ! get a real camera man already!!" The movie is like one and a half hours only, when the movie ended, Everyone is EVERYONE in the cinema sitting and waiting for the ending. This is it? WTF?! no idea wat happen, no explanations about the monster, y been attack and the whole world die?? I hate a movie without any ending it suck! That's the reason y i got so shock it can hit 41 million. Oh well, maybe it's just me who doesn't like it
