Ancient Epic "300" Leads Worldwide Box Office
The brave Spartan soldiers of ``300'' enjoyed a one-sided victory at the North American box office for a second weekend, making light work of critically lambasted new challenges from Sandra Bullock and Chris Rock.
According to studio estimates issued on Sunday, Warner Bros. Pictures' war epic sold $31.2 million worth of tickets in the three days beginning on March 16, taking its 10-day haul to $127.4 million. The Time Warner Inc.-owned studio expects the film to hit $200 million.
``300'' was also No. 1 overseas, earning $15.6 million from chart-topping stands in 13 countries, mostly in Asia. The foreign total stands at $24.6 million, with Greece supplying $7 million, not surprising given the film's setting. It opens next weekend in such markets as Britain, France, Spain and Mexico.
