“300″ Conquers the World

(Via The Hollywood Reporter) Thanks to smashing bows in five Asian territories as well as exceptionally strong holdover-market performances, “300″ dominated the foreign box office last weekend, battling its way to an estimated $15.6 million from 13 markets. The ancient epic took the No. 1 spot in each market it played. The fresh territories included South Korea ($6.3 million), Turkey ($1.5 million), Thailand ($917,000), Hong Kong ($730,000) and India ($582,000). The biggest of the holdover markets was Greece, where the film earned $2.5 million. The second-weekend tally was exceeded only by “300’s” record-setting opening weekend in the country. Upcoming this weekend are “300″ openings in such major territories as the U.K., France, Italy, Spain and Mexico. How you like them apples?

Personally, I think it’s less Spartans and more about Lena Headey’s impossibly gorgeous Queen Gorgo.
