Video: Internet, Gerard Butler fans credited for 300’s $500m success

A CBS report today credits both rabid Gerard Butler and Internet-based comic fans for the success of 300 in theatres. The eye-candy appeal of the cast didn’t hurt either, as droves of women attended a film most critics wrote off as a teenage boy’s fantasy with limited appeal.

But the movie-going public revealed that most mainstream critics must be middle-aged straight men with limited imaginations. The public? Not so. The film did boffo box office and attracted people who normally shun comic book-inspired genre film.

It grossed more than $500,000 world wide (half a trillion dollars). The 2-disc DVD is on sale now and is expected to be one of the biggest sellers of the year. (Click the DVD picture above for an Amazon.com link.)
