‘300’ (2007)
Domestic Gross: $210.6 million
When it first came out in 2007, “300” became the highest-grossing R-rated film based on a comic book. It has since lost that title but the $210 million it pulled in made it the year’s top-earning R-rated film and the only one in the overall top 10 for 2007. It depicted a fictionalized and highly stylized account of a popular Persian War struggle in which massively outnumbered Greek troops faced off against Persian armies. “300” grossed more than $450 million at the global box office.
