“Oz The Great And Powerful” passes $300 mln at worldwide box office

The Disney pic eclipsed the worldwide milestone, with the international cume now at $154.2M to go along with $152.9M domestic, Deadline said.

Oz The Great And Powerful is likely to pass $175M on Sunday, March 23 in North America, with spring break vacation and the Easter weekend still to come.

Sam Raimi’s 3D fantasy crossed $100M in six days after its huge $80M+ domestic debut March 8 — the biggest opening of 2013 and the third-best March opening ever — and it held its No. 1 spot this past weekend with little in the way of competition for family eyeballs.

In the film, small-time magician (James Franco) arrives in an enchanted land and is forced to decide if he will be a good man or a great one.
