The number kept getting bigger. Monday last week they were predicting 25 to 30 million. Tuesday 40 to 50 million. Wednesday 75 to 80 million. Saw it on Saturday. 2:20 matinee not an empty seat. This will be the highest grossing film ever.

My son went after work last night. 9pm showing on Sunday night was sold-out. He waited in line for another 30 minutes to get tickets for a 9:55 showing. It ended up being sold out, too. 9:55pm on SUNDAY NIGHT???
This is phenomenal.

My husband and I saw it this evening. We had to buy our tickets yesterday because it was sold out till tonight.

I'm glad we did. Our showing was sold out by the time we got there. The show after us was sold out, judging by the line waiting to get in to our portion of the megaplex, it wrapped back on itself.

I bought some soda before the show and asked the concession girl how the movie was doing. She said it had sold out for every showing since they started playing it. She had also seen it on her day off, and was encouraging her friends (teenagers) to see it to. She warned me to be prepared to cry.

I didn't cry - I sobbed, I gasped, I curled into my chair in horror and silently begged for it to stop. I wept until my hands, back, shoulders, and jaw ached from trying to keep it in. The lady beside me also wept, crying out, "No! No!" during the height of the scourging and during the crucifixtion.

I am drained, spent, exhausted - and will recommend this film to anyone who has even a passing belief in Christ.
