ENTERTAINMENT '300' could break record for March-release profits
LOS ANGELES — The ancient battle of Thermopylae was the stuff of 2007's first certified blockbuster as the bloody action tale "300" debuted with ticket sales of 570 million during its opening weekend, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That's about $233,000 for every one of the legendary 300 Spartan soldiers who fought off a much larger Persian force in the epic battle.
"On a Spartan-by Spartan basis, that's a lot of money," said Paul
Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Media By Numbers "Summer came a little early, because this is a summer-style opening."
The number of movie-goers for the Warner Bros. epic "300" out-numbered crowds for the rest of the top-10 movies combined. If the estimate holds when final numbers are released Monday, "300" would break the record for best March debut ever, topping the $68 million haul for "Ice Age: The Meltdown" last year.
"300" bumped off the previous weekend's No. 1 movie, Disney's "Wild Hogs", which slipped to second place but held up well with $28 million, raising its total to $77.4 million.
"300" played in 3,103 theaters,
about 850 fewer than the "Ice Age' sequel, making its box-office performance even more notable.
It averaged $22,647 a theater, a
The total for "300" includes $3.4 million from 62 IMAX theaters, a record opening weekend for the large-screen format.
whopping number for a wide release.
"300," adapted from Frank Miller's graphic novel, stars Gerard Butler as Leonidas, king of the Greek city-state of Sparta, who leads his vastly outnumbered men against the Persian invaders.
