One has to wonder what the sales will be like when it's release in Poland, Italy, and Central and South America. This film phenom was only just begun. And well deserved. Sadly it is only believers that will get it.

In anticipation of the Easter season, Gibson's film about the last 12 hours in Jesus Christ's life expanded again last week by 194 venues to 3,408 theaters nationwide. That theater count will make "Passion" the most widely circulated film in the marketplace.

Amazing. I remember when Gibson couldn't get any distributor in Hollywood to touch it, and we were wondering how much distribution little New Market could do. At one point months ago, I'd heard that one theater in nearby Ft. Worth might be showing it, and friends were investigating that potential venue.

Monday ticket sales were up 8% from 1 week earlier.
Tuesday ticket sales were up 19% from 1 week earlier.
Wednesday ticket sales were up 39% from 1 week earlier
and up 9% from 2 weeks earlier.
Thursday ticket sales numbers are not yet available

If this keeps up through the weekend the numbers could get very interesting.

I expect TPOTC to easily move from #10 overall to #8 overall and maybe even #7 overall. We'll see when the estimates roll in Monday morning for the weekend - Fri/Sat/Sun.

It will be competing with Disney's $95 million film, "The Alamo"

Don't waste $ on this "The Alamo".
I've heard 3 reviews...even the liberal reviewer was panning it for
sheer boredom.

It looks like the newby moirai has gone bye-bye. One thing I know is that I didn't hit abuse.
