Okay, my Dad is 77 years old and he's another example of what this writer is talking about. The last movie he saw in a theatre was "The Sound of Music", we went as a family when I was a kid (I'm now in my 50's)

He is going to see The Passion.

Tonight there are multiple theaters reserved in each multiplex at the same starting time. That didn't even happen with The Lord of the Rings. That opening they showed the film every half hour or so.

In one multiplex The Passion will be showing in four theaters at 7 o'clock. Then again about a half hour later in 2 theaters at the same multiplex, along with the later showings, I think I counted 15 showings today alone, and that's one theater. It is showing at every theater in the entire area.

My 20 year old niece is away at university and she saw it last night. She said it was awesome and profound! She thought it was the best movie she had ever seen.

I have been to two movies in the last 15 years. Titanic, and one about asteroid hitting the earth.

My kids told me today that one of our local theaters was allowing people to see the movie free last night!
