LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Obsessed," a new " Fatal Attraction "-style thriller starring R&B singer Beyonce Knowles , easily took the crown at the weekend box office in North America , selling an estimated $28.5 million worth of tickets, its distributor said on Sunday.

The movie cost about $20 million to make, and industry observers were forecasting an opening in the mid-teen millions, said Screen Gems , the low-budget division of Sony Corp's Columbia Pictures .

Knowles, the former Destiny's Child frontwoman who recently played blueswoman Etta James in "Cadillac Records," stars in "Obsessed" as a woman who fights to save her marriage when a pretty office temp ( Ali Larter ) falls hard for her husband ( Idris Elba ).

Dat's Right BITCHES!!!! -'Obsessed' tops Friday box office

By ANTHONY D'ALESSANDRO

Beyonce Knowles hit No.1 yesterday -- not on the music chart, rather the box office chart.

The songstress-thesp's thriller "Obsessed" rang up an estimated $11.2 million of B.O. bling on Friday, making it the highest opening day for an April thriller and the second highest ever for a Sony-Screen Gems release. Previous opening day champ for an April suspense title belonged to 2007's "Disturbia" which generated $8.8 million. The top opening day for a Screen Gems pic belongs to 2005's "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" which banked $11.3 million.

Also starring Ali Larter and Idris Elba, "Obsessed" centers on a predatory office temptress (Larter) who sets her sights on ruining an investment banker's life and marriage. "Obsessed" also marks the second highest opening day for Knowles, slotting behind her 2002 debut "Austin Powers in Goldmember" which grossed $26.5 million.

In terms of its hold on the No. 1. spot this weekend, "Obsessed" is irreplaceable. Stepping over three other wide releases yesterday, the thriller, playing at 2,541 theaters, is expected to easily clear the $22.2 million opening weekend posted by "Disturbia."
