300 storms the doors of the box office
I had high hopes for this movie's returns, and I'm pleased to see that they've been fulfilled:
That's changed with the film taking in around double the initial estimates - a cool $70 million. The amount is easily the biggest opening this year, the biggest March opening of all time ahead of last year's "Ice Age 2" ($68m), and the third highest R-rated movie opening weekend behind "The Matrix Reloaded" and "The Passion of the Christ".
The film itself was great. It's violent and beautiful and manages (like Sin City) to bring the words "graphic" and "novel" to the screen in all their gritty splendor.
