DeeCee Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 I've never seen this and I don't recall much about the box office run. That's my contribution to this discussion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did check before starting the thread and it said 2006 which I momentarily thought was strange as people were saying it came out 10 years ago but couldn't be bothered undertaking a more thorough investigation. Apparently it screened at a Harry Knowles film festival in 2006 and therefore is listed in many places as a 2006 film.

John Marston Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 This movie was not only huge in theaters but a gigantic DVD seller and I still see people quoting this damn movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's always kinda amused me that a movie essentially featuring a bunch of half-naked buff dudes running around doing plenty of killing became such a dudebro classic.

Jiffy Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Zack Snyder is a hack. That being said, the BO run for this was quite impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Snyder's Dawn of the Dead remake and Watchmen adaptation were pretty good and 300 is an insane amount of fun. Everything from him after Watchmen, though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel1 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I hate this movie because it gave Snyder a career for the next 10 years 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webslinger Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 It was truly a perfect storm of great advertising and perfect positioning in the release schedule. It was an event unlike anything since the preceding summer, and it broke out accordingly. Even so, I was shocked to see an R-rated non-sequel with no bankable stars hit $70 million and break the March record that Ice Age: The Meltdown had set the year before. Even though this is totally speculation and I'm sure the film did indeed play like gangbusters with its target audience, I've always thought that part of Wild Hogs's incredible staying power came from teenagers buying tickets to sneak into 300. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordmandeep Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 It was a really different movie. It was very traditional in its good vs evil story telling and had a cool visual style. This movie has flaws but it has some great lines, History helps out a lot... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With IMAX and ticket prices added in, I think this would have been over 300M now. But then again, these types of movies don't do that well anymore and it would likely be a Netflix original. I actually have not watched 300 in English to this day, the only show which was available on opening day was a Hindi dub, it was fun to hear the bad dubbing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyxx Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Snyder’s best film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excel1 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 This was my first true breakout call. Everyone was saying "this should do over $30m, high breakout opening weekend" and I said $60m was happening. I really did not care for this film, the style simply wasn't for me. But "THIS IS SPARTA!!!!" lives in cinematic eternity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
