A coincidence? As someone who knows a LOT about computers, thus is not likely. On what basis do you say this? If the numbers are generated pretty randomly, or even sequentially, the chances of that particular combination coming up in a 3-digit number is 1 in a thousand (and there are a couple thousand theaters playing the movie). But it sounds like this is merely the first 3 digits in a *longer* number, and each additional digit increases the likelihood of 666 showing up somewhere in the sequence.

Aren't the chances a lot higher than 1 in 1,000? It seems I recall some stats formula that would drive the number higher, but stats was a long time ago and my mind may just be wandering.
Either way, I agree that this is inappropriate for this movie. Putting the mark of the beast (anti-christ) on a ticket to a movie that realistically depicts the death of Christ is unnerving at best!
