Of course, its not a surprise to a lot of us. There were lots of FReepers who thought it would be a flop. If I had the time, I would go back and dig up their quotes.

It is so rewarding to see a good guy like Mel Gibson put his money where his mouth is, and he will reap the rewards from it. Good job mel.

I'd love it if the Passion does well. All the arguments about its supposed anti-semitism are actually attempts by leftists to discredit the film: The PC left will not accept any movie about Christ that doesn't show Him as insane, uncertain about his mission, hate-filled, or gay. If Christ is shown as who He is, the Son of God, the knee-jerk anti-Christian tendencies of the liberals will come out.

"Everyone will say - I've done my religious duty" This guy doesn't have a clue about how far off he is - when people go see this film, they will want to take back others, who will see it and they will want to take others, and so on! I think it will go beyond $200 million and here's why - You can NEVER outgive God and Mel gave up $25 million to the Lord to see this project out - God is using Mel and his dedication and I can hardly wait to see not just the film but the response!

"I don't think there will be any repeat business," said one.

I think that's wrong. And let's remember that there are probably 50 million Americans who refuse to see the movies that Hollywood makes these days -- but they may all want to see The Passion.

The anti-Semitism debate has probably helped the pic, he said.

Take that, Abe Foxman!

Others, though, are more cautious. "I don't think there will be any repeat business," said one. "Everybody will say I've done my religious duty after they've seen it one time."

This snide little remark shows just how scared Hollywierd is of this movie. They are absolutely terrified that the message and THE WORD is going to be seen and listened too my millions.

They know that the more business and press that The Passion gets, the more people that will turn away from the degradation and filth that people like this yahoo have staked thier lives on.

This guy epitomizes the Hollywierd community --in the words of Jack Nicholson. "The Truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

Others, though, are more cautious. "I don't think there will be any repeat business," said one. "Everybody will say I've done my religious duty after they've seen it one time."

Snotty comment and probably from a studio who snubbed Gibson's request for distribution and would now like to secretly shoot itself in the head.

I've seen "Passion of The Christ". I was fortunate enough to attend a preview. I intend to see it again.

So at least one person (me) is going to prove this fool wrong and I suspect that many, many others will do the same.

This film will be shown for many years, all over the world. It will be a very powerful message, everywhere. Mel Gibson was not thinking short-term when he made this film. I will see the film, and I fervently hope that it will, indeed, be a huge success, right away. But I think that it's potential long-term effect will really be its greatest significance.

I've not seen the private viewings but from what I hear I've a couple thought on it:

1. everyone should carry a pack of Kleenex

2. Every church should be VERY prepared to receive a large number of folks for salvation counselling & discipleship followup; even greater than ANYTHING they had ever had in their history.
