Its ridiculous all the publicity about this movie. Its been for 3 weeks and only has grossed $3.7 million. It is number 9 this week. Passion of the Christ made more money in 3 hours then this movie has made so far. I do not know of one anti-religious moves that has done will in the box office: Last Temptation of Christ, Priests, etc. Hollyweird will never learn.

Yet, not one movie about murderous Islamofascists.

Well, to be fair to this anti-Christian movie...for 2 weeks of its release, it was in 'limited' release (about 400 screens or so). Passions...tons of screens when it debut. Even the third week, it is only on 589 screens. So even if a bunch of people (Michael Moore, anti-American, anti-Christian crowd) wanted to see it, they couldn't due to the limited screens that it is on.

That being said...now that it is in wider release, it could make a lot more money, or it could not. Now, it will DEFINATLEY not make the amount of money Passions has made (few movies will). Though whether or not it will be considered a hit in its own right...is another story though (its also considered a low budget film so something as modest as 30 million, they could still claim that it is a hit).
