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.

Churches in Australia are reporting a noticable increase in Good Friday Services this year and the report is that it is due to the Passion.

It's now #63, and let us not forget that "The Ten Commandments" from the '50s hit #5.
