'Mr. Peabody & Sherman' Ends The Reign Of '300: Rise Of An Empire' At The Box Office

The year's newest animation 'Mr. Peabody & Sherman' is proving to be a favorite amongst cinemagoers as it lands at this weekend's No.1 spot on the North American Box Office, ending the reign of the epic sequel '300: Rise Of An Empire.'

The DreamWorks animation, which was released in theatres on March 7th, is a reboot of the 1960's television cartoon and features a highly intelligent canine and his adopted son on their time-travelling journeys with a modern twist. However, the pair's trip suddenly is cut short when they inadvertently create a time rift, which now must fix this before it is too late.

Finishing in second place is the sequel to Zack-Snyder's 2006 epic '300', the mythological ancient-Greek age that '300: Rise Of An Empire' is set has impressed audiences for a second week.

On opening weekend, 'Rise Of An Empire' raked in a huge $45 million, and in its second week of release the sequel earned $19 million.

Finishing in the 3rd spot is Aaron Paul's 'Need For Speed,' an adaptation of the video games series, which totalled in $17.8 million on opening weekend, but this is considered a huge disappointment due to the hype surrounding the film before its release.

Landing in 4th is 'Non-Stop', an aviation thriller starring Liam Neeson and Julianne Moore, which earned $10.6 million in its third week of release.

Rounding off this St. Patrick's Day weekend's top 5 is the newly released comedy Tyler Perry's 'The Single Mom Club.'
