My gut feel is this thing won't sustain it's run like RotK. But we
shall
see.

$117 million in the first five days. That's just a bit behind
"Spiderman,"
which has the record for the first week.

Yes, it raking in the dough.
I notice the theatre count is well below that of
RotK during its opening week.
Why might that be?

Because the are more fantasy fans than Christians?

Actually Mr. Wheeler pointed out the short notice on
the release date impacting the number of screens.
This makes the box office numbers even more impressive.


Actually, I think ROTK may
have opened in more theatres.

But then again, we really should stop comparing the two.

My wife saw the Passion. She didn't like it.
She also hates LotR.
She has to be in a pretty small minority.
