300: Rise of an Empire is Off to a Strong Start at the Box Office

It looks like 300: Rise of an Empire has a good chance of rising to the top of the box office this weekend.

Analysts estimate that that the film could make between $35-40 million this, its opening weekend. BoxOffice reports that the follow-up to 2006's swords-and-sandals action flick made around $15-16 million Friday, with a Thursday night premiere of $3.3 million.

300: ROAE looks to take the number one spot this weekend, with DreamWorks animated adventure Mr. Peabody and Sherman expected to come in second with roughly $30 million.
