It may be a perennial in the movie theaters every Easter. So it will be a tidy annuity for Gibson, making money every year the way that the Disney animated movies do.

I doubt that, not because of the movie but because of technology. The re-release to theaters is pretty much dead in the VHS/ DVD age. Unless they're doing something to the movie (like adding new scenes or effects, or like with Fantasia super cleaning the prints) there's no longer a market to go into a theater to watch a two year-old movie, given the accelerated release rates (Hollywood makes about 10 times as many movies a year now as they did in the early 80s) I'm sure the hard part is convincing theaters to find room in their schedule.
