Ghost Rider and Wild Hogs step aside. Throngs of men in need of a testosterone-laden movie were apparently craving more than just motorcycles. According to the latest box office numbers, what they really needed were swords. And blood. And Spartan women.
Trapped inside a crowded theater this weekend, I knew 300 would be successful. But who could have guessed it would be this big?? The latest movie to be based on a Frank Miller graphic novel raked in nearly $71 million. That’s the largest opening for a movie in March…ever. Additionally, it was the 3rd largest opening for an ‘R’ rated movie (right behind The Matrix Reloaded and The Passion of the Christ).
