"And at the same time snidely insuinating that Mel Gibson did it only for the money."

This is not what he wrote or what he meant. I know this because I've known Ralph winter for...let's see...33 years. He's a fine Christian, and a fine man. He also produced Left Behind, the movie.

Sorry, I caused a misunderstanding. I was just adding to this comment:

Having said all that, there is a guarantee (!) that the media will report that turnout was less than expected.

I can see it now, "The Passion did $100M business on its opening weekend, placing it 2nd for all-time top opening. This was disappointing to many in the industry who were expecting it to be a bigger hit, blah, blah, blah ..."

I only meant that one more attempt to lessen the effect of the movie will be the media trying to say that Mr. Gibson did it only for the money. I didn't mean to sound as if I thought Mr. Winter was saying this.
