Fans are obsessed with Beyonce Knowles .

Obsessed, the new Fatal Attraction-style thriller, dominated the weekend box office with $28.5 million in ticket sales -- well over what studio execs predicted.

Take a look at Beyonce's style through the years.

The movie also stars The Office's Idris Elba, who plays Knowles' husband in an ideal marriage that is shattered after a psychotic coworker (played by Heroes' Ali Larter ) begins some serious stalking.

The film -- which was projected to open in the high teens -- is Knowles' top-grossing debut since her own film debut in Austin Powers in Goldmember.

Zac Efron 's 17 Again and Channing Tatum 's Fighting were neck-and-neck for the No. 2 spot, with Efron's comedy taking in $11.7 million after debuting as the top movie last week -- for a 10-day total of $40 million. Fighting, also starring Terrence Howard , brought in $11.4 million in its opening weekend.

The Soloist -- starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jamie Foxx -- opened at No. 4 with $9.7 million.

    Beyonce no doubt is the baddest girl in the game. She will be a legend of our time. People like her come around once in a century so to follow her footsteps you have to be really at the top of your game. And it is so much more to come from her for years to come. You Go Girl.
