If you don't adjust for inflation, this is a rather useless exercise. #1 adjusted is Gone With the Wind, and #2 is Star Wars. Both grossed over $1 billion in present dollars. Passion will very well be the #1 movie this year, but it won't be the #1 movie of all time, at least not this year. It may keep playing around Easter that it might make it eventually, but probably not.

I don't think it will be the "greatest of all time." Sounds like a Muhammed Ali claim. I think the first crowds are being swelled by church goers who are not the typical movie-going demographic. That will fall off soon. But it still will be one of the biggest of all time. Going out on limb, aren't I?

It well may be, because of the division in our society right now. The moral decline of the liberals strikes fear in most of us. I PRAY it will be!

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

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.

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

I would be willing to bet a steak dinner AND an expensive bottle of wine - ah heck - AND a Million Dollars that it will end up being the HIGHEST grossing film EVER, even adjusting FOR INFLATION.....




... in the category of non-english religous films with subtitles......UNLESS Gibson does another similar one!!

I heard that The Passion of The Christ would have a very limited audience because no one will sit through some religious movie in Aramaic and Latin.

It has already made a passionate box office statement to Hollywood.

Anything else is a bonus.

Titanic was a mainstream film.

Passion is an assault on Democratic 'values', otherwise known as 'Evil'.
