Those Spartans, you can hack them, slash them, give them an atomic wedgie – but they'll just keep going. 300 may have bled 60% of its opening weekend take, but it still fought its way comfortably to the top of the US box office for a second weekend running. It took $31,185,000, to bring its total to a massive $127,473,000 in ten days. Which on a budget of $65million, is pretty darn good.
Wild Hogs also shown suprising stamina for a film about ageing petrol heads, taking $18,825,000 to take the number two spot. The top ten's new entries could only manage spots number 3 to 5. Sandra Bullock's poorly received thriller Premonition took the third spot with $18,000,000; horror movie Dead Silence landed at number four, with Chris Rock's latest, I Think I Love My Wife, at number 5.
