Cheater!
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

Nope. Passion of the Christ is stalled and will make only around $600 Million. Its only done well in America as a good deal of Americans are evangelicals. In Germany, France, UK, and Japan coming soon, its done poorly and these are major international markets. Its made most of its coin in the U.S.

????? Its dropping like a stone since Easter ended!
During the week, its getting LESS THAN 10 PEOPLE PER LOCATION its showing at! For instance, last Thursday, each location showing this movie was earning, on average, $69.
Its on its way down. As of now, its done $590 Million worldwide, but $368 Million of that is in the US/Canada region. The real massive movies make about 65% of their coin in the countries other than the US and Canada, and "Passion" hasn't done that great in the big Int'l markets.
Its done really, really well but it won't even crack the Top 20 of all time. It'd have to make almost $30 Million more to do this, and its not making that much anymore.

I have to agree; its basically two hours of jesus getting the shit kicked out of him..........and anyone would have been dead via that scourging he took..........methinks Mel wanted to make an overkill statement that he could "take it" 'cause he was christ.........yeah, ok mel

They did but you need to calculate inflation and stuff
AHH whatever,, I need more coffee
The more important consideration is the LACK of competition back in those days............nowadays you have hundreds of times more movies being made and they make a run and are usually out of most of the theatres by 14 or 15 weeks...........back then, they had pictures like "Gone With the Wind" playing at theatres for like 2 years...........and there were hardly any movies made during the year compared to now............so its hard to say...........also, especially in the last 20 years, movies have gotten so very expensive to go to compared to before..........this prevents families from going to the movies as a family, or strongly discourages it at least...............then there is home video........how many times have you said, "Well I'll wait til that one comes out on video."
When you take these things into consideration, there is no doubt in my mind that "Titanic" had by far the most successful run in movie history box-office wise, especially considering these new factors. And I thought it was merely a good to very good movie, and not a great one.
