Twentieth Century Fox's The Spartans not only had 300's number, but John Rambo's, too, topping the weekend box office with an estimated $18.7 million. Rambo (aka "First Blood Part 4," technically, or at least "Rambo III") drew $18.2 mil, in a weekend that was up 32 percent versus a year ago (when Fox's Epic Movie spoof ruled).

Rounding out the top five were 27 Dresses ($13.6 million), last week's champ Cloverfield (plunging 68 percent, adding just $12.7 mil) and Diane Lane's Untraceable ($11.2 mil).

wow Americans have bad taste, who ever paid $12 to see Meet the Spartans, needs his/her head examined, because it is missing a brain

Gotta be pretty rare for a movie to make $40 million opening weekend and have no chance of making $100 million.
