Opinions please: Will 'Passion' surpass 'Titanic' as the biggest movie of all time?

I'll go out on a limb and predict 'Passion' becomes the biggest film of all time. Please give your opinion: Will it fizzle or fume? What sayest thou?

I predict that the book the movie is based on will be number 1 for a very long time.

I predict it will remain number #1 forever!

I agree with cripplecreek...As long as the leftist/secularists screech on cable news shows about this film, people will go out in droves to see it.

But my sense is that it will not surpass Titanic. Oddly enough, Titanic didn't get off to a fast start; Passion has. Right there, the dynamics of the two movies are different. I suspect that Titanic's success was due to 15 year old girls seeing the film umpteen times because of Leonard DiCaprio. Again, that kind of dynamic isn't working with "Passion." I will see "The Passion" again in the theaters. I know a lot of people will see it a second time. But I don't think people will see it "umpteen" times. I hope I'm wrong.

Besides, most people who watch c-span are partisans, and I get annoyed listening to the calls, so I don't want to join in the annoyance, lol!

I hope so. I just came from seeing the film with my daugter, son in law, and some other family.

I just feel mentally and physically exhausted right now. It is such an amazing film, I want to see it again soon. Best movie I've seen in my 47 years on this earth.

Excellent, although I don't expect those folks overseas will respect it as much as here in the U.S.

I don't really know, but the tone of the fellows article gave me the impression that they will.

Scotland has more traditional religious views and not those of the New Catholicism.

More akin to the Protestants, of which they also have many. At least that is my understanding.

Scotland is one of the few places that I have never been yet want to see badly.

I experianced that as well.

We talked into the wee hours of the morning, after we had recovered.

A couple of months ago I predicted it will shatter all box office records. I stand by that prediction!
