“Passion of the Christ” earned $83,848,082 on its opening weekend... in 2004. that was before ‘0bama dollars’
compensating for inflation, 2004’s $83,848,082 would be equal to $105,081,310 today

Women love to be dominated, so they leave their beta male husbands at home and go see the movie.
This is the take many are beginning to discuss. Perhaps the last two generations of American women raised on Sex in the City, Girls and Vagina Monolouges has begun having second thoughts about what they really, really want from men.
Just maybe these same women who finally ‘have it all’ miss being treated like ladies, like something precious and beautiful who is at her best, when serving the needs of her man, and her family. The road to perpetual hedonism is short dark and besotted with trap doors of selfish behavior.
the rise of the gray cougars.
Have the feminists yet weighed in with the official female opinion as to whether it is now fashionable, stylish and “fun” for women to be degraded, tied and beaten as a sexual quirk?
I don’t intend to watch it even when it’s available on Netflix.
This means the lead actor should run for president. He would most likely win.
The film as a whole; acting, story, script, dialogue, characters was just awful.
And I'm not saying it was awful because, as a conservative I'm supposed to be offended by sexual content and licentiousness. I'm not. I've made no claims to being a Puritan.
And I'm not saying it's awful because, as a conservative, I'm supposed to loath Hollywood and their degradation of American culture. I really don't care.
I'm saying it was awful because it was flat-out awful. I've seen real porn films with better acting and dialogue. How much I thought this film sucked, where to begin?
50 Shades of Excrement
It was that bad.
IMDB is summing it up much better than I can.

The film will make a bunch of money this weekend, enough to finance the two planned sequels but I can't imagine many people leaving the theaters thinking they saw a great film.
Come Tuesday when everyone is back to work, the buzz on this isn't going to be good. I predict a huge drop-off next weekend.
For me, the absolute highlight of the movie was seeing the trailer for Hot Tub Time Machine 2.
I think it is more telling that it did not meet expectations.
It will be interesting to see what the carry through to next weekend will be. I will bet there were row of cat-owning single girl packs filling the theaters this weekend as kind of an anti-Valentine’s day event.
My best is that next weekend gets 30% of this weekend. It will be on iTunes by June.
Yep. If there’s one thing we don’t have enough of, it’s sex in our movies.
Whoever timed the release of this movie is brilliant. There’s been all this buzz about American Sniper and how conservative movies are really making money. Every Liberal, Progressive, Democrat and Chicago ballet dancer was obligated to go to this movie just to prove that America wasn’t going for good movies. I’m surprised they didn’t run a movie entitled F**K OFF! I’LL EAT S**T IF I WANT TO!
You have to show your movie ticket stub before they’ll let you back into the coven.
But it’s okay, once you pass that loyalty test you get a free box of white wine.
How sad.......sign of the times.......
Just goes to show how low today’s society has sunk.
American society has become a moral sewer.
ugh
civilization is finished
No, I haven’t read the book and don’t plan on seeing the movie but, from everything I’ve read, it encompasses everything we don’t want our sons and daughters to idealize in a relationship.

The liberals and Hollywood are doubling down on “bread and circuses” to keep the masses sated. From my lips to God’s ears that some people will wake up to what’s being sold to them as the good life.
I will go out on a limb here......
I only read an excerpt of book one. Very poorly written.
BUT.... I did see the movie last night with my husband. I liked it. So did hubby.
Basically it’s a love story with some kinky sex thrown in. That’s it.
Everyone who is having fits about this is over thinking this movie.
It’s basically the same as most modern chick flicks.
Premarital sex in a budding relationship.
If a person tolerates movies with premarital sex in them, then in my opinion that person is a hypocrite for hating this movie for it.
