The Passion Breaks Records

The continuing story of the Passion of the Christ continues to make big news in the entertainment industry.

As of this writing, the film has grossed $333,000,000 in the United States. It has grossed an additional $99,000,000 internationally, and it set a record for a single day opening in Italy just last night.

It now ranks as the #10 top grossing film of ALL TIME. Look at some of the movies it has passed by.

– Forest Gump

– The Lion King

– Pirates of the Caribbean

– Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings

– Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\’s Stone

By this time next week (April 15th), the film should pass Finding Nemo AND The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, to find its place at #8. Can there be any doubt that it is gunning for the #2 position, currently held by Star Wars, with a lifetime gross of $461,000,000?

The film has obviously resonated with a large audience, and it is destined to be a perenial classic.
