Dreamworks certainly has something to celebrate for today. Their latest tent pole release, Shrek The Third, struck the magical 300 million mark today in Domestic Box Office. This places it firmly into the 2nd highest film of the summer behind Spider-Man 3.
Shrek is 10th on the All Time Fastest Movies to hit $300 Million hitting the mark in 34 days at the box office.
Spider-Man 3 is already on that very same list ranking in 6th place on the All Time chart by gathering up $300 million in domestic box office receipts in a little under 24 days.
