The Spartan army conquered a further 12 territories at the weekend as 300 reeled in $30.8m, bringing its total international spoils to a ferocious $126.4m after four weeks. UK comedy Mr Bean's Holiday jumped up to number two and generated $29.2m in the three-day period after opening in a further 23 territories, grossing more than $12.6m in the UK alone. New entry Meet The Robinsons took $9.4m in its first weekend from 22 territories and Bridge To Terabithia was boosted by 269% as it grossed $4.5m at the weekend after opening in France. And Korean flick Small Town Rivals entered the chart with a bang, generating $3.1m from 325 screens in its home territory. Oscar-nominated Notes On A Scandal and thriller The Messengers both re-entered the chart this weekend, grossing $1.2m and $1.5m respectively.
