first picture of the year to cross the $300-million mark at the domestic box
office. According to Music by Numbers, the film had grossed $299.3 million

today (Thursday). Three films grossed more than $300 million in 2007:
Spider-Man 3 ($336.5 million); Shrek the Third ($322.7 million),
and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End ($309.4 million).
