For what it's worth, Michelle Williams finished number 2 on both the Indiewire and Village Voice polls for Best Supporting Actress. She was definitely one of the frontrunners.

On Monday it was 0.4M behind the Snyder hit and on Wednesday it was less $0.2M behind. "300" finished at $210M in North America. I can see Logan finishing at around $230M due to its stronger start.

Its possible but this weekend looks like a 55-58% drop IMO unless its a weekend movie and jumps big on friday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narniadis Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Typical Wednesday though nothing more or less. It's interesting to me that Wednesday generally doesn't show much difference regardless of Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said previously, being half greek I kinda found the movie disrespectful in a number of ways. Generally I am against that commercialization of historical events.

I love it. It's terrifically rewatchable but it's cool to bash it cause homophobia or whatever. Same reason why Braveheart is bashed. I love both and you won't hear any complaints from me. Characters act like people did in those time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rise of an Empire is the one that actually pisses all over history. Sparta had no Navy of significance, Athens was the Naval power and it was largely down to them (and Themistocles) that the Battle of Salamis was won. Moreover, Xerxes was not even present at the Battle of Marathon and it was Miltiades that led the charge and also came up with the idea of taking the fight to the far more numerous Persians. Themistocles however, did indeed take part in the Battle of Marathon. Additionally, Artemisia was a secondary commander, not the main one, but she is alleged to have advised Xerxes to wait on the Greeks and not attack inside the Salamis straights, a piece of advise that Xerxes should have taken (with benefit of hindsight) As for "300", it's actually pretty accurate in its description and reference of historical events (forget the dramatized action scenes that are there to draw the attention of contemporary audiences) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
